Health Insurance

Every International faculty member, employee, student or visitor, as well as accompanying family members and dependents, must be covered by a comprehensive private health insurance policy for the period of their stay in Israel. This Insurance must include COVID coverage. We will instruct you as to how to obtain a local policy suitable for your status, and this is a mandatory requirement for your time at the Institute.
