More and more young students are attending higher education facilities made available through the Governments annual budgetary measures. Those desiring vocational training in agriculture or industry are given the opportunity to attend the several excellent vocational institutes which now exist and which continue to grow with the country. Because of the tremendous rate of immigrants. among whom were carriers of malaria. trachoma. and various sundry diseases. the need became great for medical facilities and doctors to protect those already in residence and curb the diseases in the newcomers. By 1962. there were 5.000 physicians practicing in Israel. with numerous medical institutions ready for training and research. The Hadassah Hebrew University Medical School. originally located on Mount Scopus but forced to rebuild elsewhere when the grounds fell into the hands of Jordanian troops. has already provided for approximately 10 percent of all practicing doctors.
