Medical Corps (Israel)

The Israeli Medical Corps (Hebrew: חֵיל הָרְפוּאָה, Heil HaRfu'a) is a corps responsible for providing healthcare services and medical treatment and instruction to all levels of the IDF.

During wars or emergencies, the Medical Corps assumes authority over the civilian healthcare system in Israel.

The corps attends to the planning, organization, and supervision of the preparedness of the healthcare system to face crises.

As of 2023, the corps is headed by Brigadier General Prof. Elon Glassberg.

The Medical Corps is divided into six brigade- or battalion-level units: This Israel Defense Forces-related article is a stub.
