Workers Sick Fund (Kupat Holim) - The foundations for Kupat Holim Klalit were laid by the Judea Workers' Health Fund, established at a convention of the Federation of Workers in Judea in December 1911. Historically, Klalit was affiliated with the Histadrut labor movement. To be a member of Klalit, one had to join the Histadrut. The name "Klalit" means "general" in Hebrew and derives from the Histadrut's full title "The General Federation of Laborers in the Land of Israel".
