This bill authorizes $4 million annually for fiscal years 2024 through 2026 to fund a joint program between the United States and Israel focused on developing health technologies. The program targets innovations in areas like artificial intelligence, vaccines, diagnostic tests, telemedicine, and respiratory devices, with a particular emphasis on addressing emerging infectious diseases through personalized medicine and data-driven approaches. The funding requires matching contributions from the Israeli government to be spent, ensuring shared investment in the collaborative effort. The Secretary of Health and Human Services can either expand an existing bilateral health technology cooperation program with Israel or establish a new one in consultation with the State Department. This bipartisan legislation brings together members from both parties to formalize and fund ongoing health technology collaboration between the two countries.
