Haredi Nurse Matan Nitzky Innovates Private Nursing Care in Israel, Enhancing Patient Experience
Matan Nitzky, a haredi male nurse, is transforming private nursing care in Israel through his initiative, Dream Care. After working in the Israeli healthcare system, Nitzky identified gaps in patient care due to the system's fast-paced nature. He founded Dream Care to provide personalized, home-based medical services, ranging from blood tests to chemotherapy, in the Jerusalem region. The service also includes accompanying patients to medical appointments to help navigate the healthcare system. Dream Care has grown significantly, now serving about 150 patients monthly with a team of 20 nurses. Nitzky's approach emphasizes keeping patients in familiar surroundings and using telemedicine to enhance care delivery.
