PM to help mediate crisis at Hadassah’s pediatric cancer unit
Netanyahu will reportedly intervene in the ongoing management crisis at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center’s pediatric cancer unit.
The ward’s entire team of senior doctors quit en masse two months ago over what they claim is the hospital’s systemic failure to invest in its staff.
In recent days, a number of MKs have urged Sara Netanyahu, a trained child psychologist, to intervene and help solve the conflict.
According to reports, Sara Netanyahu took the matter to her husband, who called for mediation between the six senior doctors and Health Minister Yaakov Litzman.
Litzman has agreed to attend the meeting; the group of physicians has yet to respond to the request.
