Sending students with a pre-existing health condition to Israel for a gap-year program is difficult for many parents.   The young adult population can experience many varied health conditions.  Some of the more common ailments are:

• Severe Allergies

• Autoimmune conditions 

• Type 1 Diabetes 

• Depression 

• Crohn’s Disease 

• Anxiety 

• Asthma 

• Eating Disorders 

• Physical disabilities 

It’s not easy to send your child thousands of miles away, knowing his/her illness could experience a flare-up. 

A student with allergies could go into anaphylactic shock. Your child with a gastrointestinal disorder or diabetes needs to be sure he/she is receiving the proper treatment in a foreign country.  Mental health issues are maybe even more complicated.  Will your child become even more depressed or anxious when away from home?

“To send or not to send? That is the question”.  Parents spend time researching for months, hoping to find the right medical resources for their child.   Parents are confused and overwhelmed by the Israeli healthcare system, and then as they become more knowledgeable, they need to make this serious decision. Will your child be well taken care of in Israel?  Will your child be able to receive the treatment he/she needs to stay healthy?
