That the Parliament notes that the UN has recognised the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) field hospital with the first-ever Type 3 rating, the highest score that the World Health Organization (WHO) can give; understands that Type 3 recognition deals with the provision of inpatient referral surgical care; acknowledges that the IDF field hospital is run by Medical Corps doctors, soldiers and reservists; understands that it has provided immediate, high-quality medical care to thousands of patients in Nepal, Haiti, Philippines, the Syrian border and numerous other countries following both natural and man-made disasters; believes that 17 countries worldwide, including democratic Israel, are currently recognised by WHO as having qualified foreign medical teams that can be deployed to countries and provide help in medical disaster relief, and thanks the IDF for its overseas work in continuing to provide humanitarian medical care to those countries and their people shocked by the many natural and man-made disasters without which this assistance would have been exasperated.
