Israel's doctors will ration ventilators for patients based on their physical and psychological health profile and chances of survival – local TV

An Israeli Ministry of Health document shared by local media says Covid-19 patients"with disabilities and with severe chronic disease will be the last to benefit from respirators."

Israel's doctors will ration ventilators for patients based on their physical and psychological health profile and chances of survival, a local television channel said, citing an official document. According to the document, those with physical and mental disabilities, including patients with heart, lung, liver, kidney diseases, nervous system disorders, psychological trauma, or those who suffer from untreated disease or dementia, or patients on their deathbed or those with less than 20 percent chance of recovering from Covid-19 will benefit from the respirator last.

"The document of the Ministry of Health is tantamount to discrimination against the disabled," the Equal Rights Commission for the Disabled was cited as saying by Channel 13.
