Construction and enlightenment of Israel′s medical and health care risk prevention system

Preventing and mitigating major risk exposure is an important task for modern countries to maintain sustained and healthy economic development and overall social stability. In this manuscript, the authors introduced Israel′s current medical and health care risk prevention system, including the regional health emergency response coordination mechanism, hospital′s external emergency rescue capacity building and hospital′s internal security system. Israel′s risk prevention system has been tested by wars and terrorist attacks, as well as many infectious diseases outbreaks. Thus the authors expected that its successful experiences can be introduced as a reference for improving China′s medical and health care risk prevention system.
