Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Minister of Health, with the agreement of the Minister of Finance and with the approval of the Knesset Labor, Welfare and Health Committee, shall establish by Regulations rules that will apply to a physician, whether salaried or self-employed, who provided counseling to or treated a person within the framework of a public clinic service or a community clinic service, regarding the prohibition on continuing to treat or counsel that same person outside of public funding, for a period of between four and eight months, as shall be determined in the Regulations. The Minister may establish in the Regulations relief measures or restrictions instead of the aforementioned prohibition, if he finds that this is sufficient to prevent a conflict of interest between the physician's work within the framework of a public clinic service or community clinic service and their occupation as a physician outside of public funding. The Minister of Health shall report to the Committee twice a year on the implementation of the proposed arrangement and its implications for three years from the date of its enactment. These Regulations may establish gradual application, including taking into account geographic location, provided that by the end of three years from the commencement of this Law, the Regulations shall apply in full to all physicians. The Minister of Health and the Minister of Finance may extend, by order, the said period by one year.
