Join us for the upcoming webinar - Cultural Diversity and its Impact on COVID-19 Crisis Management - presented by Dr. Odeda Benin-Goren on Wednesday, 29 July at 09:00 CDT/16:00 CEST. For more info and to register, please visit - https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/9200006723579344656.

The presentation demonstrates the importance of understanding cultural diversity among multicultural communities, especially during times of prolonged disasters. Israel is a multi-cultural country, with several minorities and religions (Jews, Arabs, Beduins). Each community has its own characteristics, beliefs, and religious rules.

With the increased number of COVID-19 cases, the Israeli government declared a state of lockdown. Many of the minority communities did not follow the regulations due to the fact that their religious beliefs and orders provided by their leaders are considered more important to them.

This behavior increased the number of COVID-19 patients in those communities and emphasized the need for understanding cultural diversity as a fundamental tier in creating trust and cooperation with official authorities. Furthermore, caregivers are required to have cultural sensitivity and a competence-based awareness of the existing cultural differences. Health care in these specific communities can be more efficient with the involvement of community leaders.
