Poisoning in Israel: Annual Report of the Israel Poison Information Center, 2017.

CONCLUSIONS: Poison exposures and poisonings have markedly increased in Israel, contributing substantially to morbidity. The IPIC prevented unnecessary referrals to emergency departments. Its database is a valuable national resource for collecting and monitoring poisoning exposure cases. It can be used as a real-time surveillance system for the benefit of public health. It is recommended that reporting to the IPIC become mandatory, and its activities adequately supported by national resources. PMID: 30905103 [PubMed - in process]
