Resumen

This Ordinance, of 73 Sections and Two Annexes makes provisions and establish procedures for the Regulation of all Public Health Aspects In Israel. This document defines the powers of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of the Environment to control public health and environmental nuisances of various kinds. The Ministry of the Environment and local authorities are responsible for preventing and eliminating nuisances and insect-carried diseases. Nuisances may include air pollution and odors or unsanitary conditions. A person who fails to remove the nuisance may be ordered to do so by the Minister of the Environment. The ministry’s inspection system is empowered to undertake the necessary action in cases of failure to comply with Nuisance Removal Orders. This ordinance provides the basis for mosquito and pest control. According to the law, authority is vested in the Minister of the Environment to impose measures for the prevention and control of mosquito breeding and for the application of anti-malaria provisions. The law requires tenants or owners to take measures to prevent mosquito breeding and requires holders or owners of irrigated lands to prevent mosquito breeding in wells and canals. The Minister of the Environment is authorized to require holders or owners of land, which are transversed by rivers or water conduits, to undertake measures to prevent mosquito breeding.
