Revenues
from medical tourism in state hospitals were NIS 54 million in 2009,
however by 2011, they were 2.2 times higher, at NIS 119 million.
Medical
tourism revenues at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa rose from NIS 7
million in 2009 to NIS 18 million in 2011. At Ichilov Hospital in Tel
Aviv, the figures were NIS 37 million in 2009 and NIS 84 million in
