Public hospitals across Israel, including Sheba, Rambam, and Laniado, are grappling with a major computer malfunction Friday morning, which is believed to be part of a global issue.
The malfunction may impact the operation of surgical rooms and extend waiting times in emergency rooms. Patients are expected to face longer waits for admission or hospitalization. Surgeries and discharges could also be delayed. Additionally, Meuhedet Health Services' computers are affected.
Ynet has learned that some bank customers are unable to access their accounts via apps. Bank Hapoalim employees working remotely are unable to connect to the bank's systems. Some banks are experiencing issues with ATM withdrawals due to connection checks between ATMs and bank accounts. So far, no Friday bank branch closures have been reported. Bank officials clarified that there is no risk of fraudulent activity due to the global malfunction.
