Haverim L'Refuah

Haverim L'Refuah is dedicated to ensuring that no individual in Israel has to forgo essential medicine due to financial constraints. Since 2003, Haverim L’Refuah (Friends for Health) (Amuta number 580408748) has been committed to making sure that those in need do not have to choose between life-saving medicines and food. Our mission is to guarantee that everyone receives the medical treatment they require, regardless of their financial situation. Haverim L’Refuah embodies the vision of 'Tikun Olam,' striving to improve and repair our world. Each month, we assist over 7,000 individuals, men and women, young and old, Jewish and Israeli, by providing a comprehensive range of medical services entirely free of charge. These services include: • Providing life-saving medicines: We deliver essential medicines directly to patients who cannot afford them. • Operating a non-profit pharmacy: Our pharmacy offers free medicines to the chronically ill and indigent. • "Save a Life" Funds program: We raise money through online campaigns to support individuals requiring expensive drugs or extraordinary medical interventions. • Partnerships with pharmaceutical companies: We collaborate with pharma companies to provide free three-month cancer treatments to patients whose necessary medicines are not covered by insurance. If the treatment proves effective, their health insurance then takes over funding, saving many lives and significantly extending others. • Consulting services: We assist patients in obtaining necessary treatments and medicines from their health insurance providers. • Organizing events for special-needs children: We arrange camps, trips, and special events for children and young adults with special needs. Through these initiatives, Haverim L’Refuah ensures that medical care is accessible to all, fostering a healthier and more equitable society.
