Demographic Danger: A Look at Maternity Wards and Segregation in Israel

Hadassah Hospital was founded on the promise to serve all patients with the same, excellent care. This week, we go inside Hadassah’s Mount Scopus maternity ward where the separation of Jewish and Arab mothers resulted in conflict between midwives at the hospital.

Featuring:

Drorit Hochner, Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Mount Scopus Hospital; Rabbi Benny Lau; Dikla Aharon, journalist; Dori Adar, online developer; nurse-midwives, Tami Doron, Avia, and Rivka ; and Jewish and Arab mothers who gave birth or considered giving birth at Mt. Scopus Hospital.
