A cancer diagnosis in Israel triggers weeks of bureaucracy at the worst possible time. Entitlements are split across four separate systems that do not talk to each other: Bituach Leumi, the health basket, HMO supplementary insurance, and dozens of NGOs. Most families discover entitlements months after they could have been claimed, or miss the 30-day appeal deadline.
