BGU | MY PATH, Haim Doron, MD

proverb - to “think before you act”: It was a ‘take the long view and wait for the right moment’ strategy that Doron followed throughout his life.

The chair of the directorate of the National Institute, Prof. Orly Manor, said of Prof. Doron that he was “a man who knew how to transform a vision into a concrete act.” Dr. Dorit Weiss, the chief nurse of Clalit, Israel’s largest HMO, where at one time Haim Doron was first the chief medical officer and later the CEO, crowned Prof. Doron “the Ben-Gurion of the public health system in Israel.” Thus, this work presents the life story of a physician, a committed Zionist, and a visionary thinker, who dedicated his life to realizing in practice foundational concepts that today are the underpinnings of the public health system in Israel.
