When my wife gave birth to our first child, she was registered in the hospital under her maiden name. A few weeks after our daughter was born, we got a phone call from our local Tipat Halav clinic. Because of the difference in last names, they did not realize that I had already brought the baby in for her first checkup.
In other words: Tipat Halav makes sure that your baby gets the medical attention it needs. If you don't bring your baby in, they will call you to remind you. This way, every baby gets the care it needs, no matter what.
Isn't that awesome?
Factoid: The National Health Insurance Law sets forth the state's responsibility to provide health services for all residents of the country. Medical services are provided through four health insurance companies (sick funds) also known as Kupat Holim.
