As in other areas of the world, in Israel there is an ongoing discussion about who should provide primary health care for children--the family physician or a pediatric specialist. Since the problem should be defined in terms of the health needs of the child, and not in terms of the social groupings of the medical profession, a primary care pediatric model, such as that established by the Health Sciences Center of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Ofakim, could serve as a prototype for comparison with family practice clinics to see which is closer to the needs of children.
和世界上其他地区一样，以色列也在持续讨论应由谁来为儿童提供初级医疗保健——是家庭医生还是儿科专科医生。由于这个问题应以儿童的健康需求来界定，而非依据医学专业的社会分类，像内盖夫本-古里安大学健康科学中心在奥法基姆建立的那种初级保健儿科模式，可作为与家庭医疗诊所进行比较的范例，以确定哪种模式更贴近儿童的需求。
