Demographic Danger: A Look at Maternity Wards and Segregation in Israel
Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem was founded on a promise to serve all patients with the same, excellent care. This week, against the backdrop of military occupation, we go inside Hadassah’s Mount Scopus maternity ward. There, 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”; Jewish and Arab mothers who gave birth or considered giving birth at Mt. Scopus Hospital.
Credits:
Narrator and Story Producer: Shaina Shealy
Host: Monica Lopez
Staff Producers: Anita Johnson, Marie Choi, Monica Lopez, R.J. Lozada
Executive Director: Lisa Rudman
Web Editor: Kwan Booth
