The world-wide shut down has been observed to various degrees in different parts of the world. Israel was one of the first countries to shut down its borders, impose lockdown.
That meant, they had to come up with innovations to their already strong Public Health Sector.
Israel like all developed nations on earth (with the notable exception of USA) is a public health oriented health care system, where the latest technology as well as simple family oriented medical care is available to all the population without a fee.
One of the fall outs of the stay at home orders is that there would be a growth in the telemedicine practice.
Indigenous peoples of USA has a public health oriented, not fee for service, community orientation and an adaptation of some of the Israeli technology would be extremely useful. I have been in native villages in the USA which are virtually hours away by car from the nearest health care facility. In the case of the indigenous people along the Amazon, this technology would be so helpful.
All social science oriented health care providers and we have a good few serving the Indians in the USA, know that Medications alone, while necessary, account only about 25% (that is a generous estimate, official studies put it at around 10%) of the healing that takes place.
Among the traditional Indians that I have worked in the Americas, the relationship takes the number one place and the fact that they are being cared for, also adds to the healing.
In the following video, one can see that this is not high-tech and can be easily adopted.
I would be eager to know more about this innovation from Israel, the Start Up Nation, bringing help to the world in its many forms.
