Israel faces a major challenge to its capacity to deal adequately with the needs of the chronically ill. This paper describes the present state of long-term care services for the chronically ill and documents the extensive disparities in the rate of institutional and community services by region. In view of the expected dramatic increase in the number of aged greater than or equal to 75 years old (from 106,800 to 181,500 between 1980 and 1990), the authors project a 50% increase in the need for institutional and community services just to maintain existing service patterns. The paper discusses the central issues related to the development of both types of services in response to the increase in needs.
以色列在充分满足慢性病患者需求的能力方面面临重大挑战。本文描述了慢性病患者长期护理服务的现状，并记录了各地区机构服务和社区服务覆盖率方面存在的巨大差异。鉴于预计75岁及以上老年人数量将急剧增加（从1980年的106,800人增至1990年的181,500人），作者预计，仅为维持现有服务模式，机构服务和社区服务的需求就将增加50%。本文讨论了为应对需求增长而发展这两类服务所涉及的核心问题。
