Six top Hadassah pediatric cancer physicians resign
All six senior pediatric hematologist-oncologists at Israel’s largest hospital resign on Sunday amid an ongoing wage dispute with hospital management.
In a statement, Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem says it “received today a collective resignation letter of the head of the pediatric hemato-oncology department and five senior doctors in the department. Management will do everything possible to ensure that no child is hurt by this collective resignation.”
One lawmaker, Zionist Union MK Itzik Shmuley, who heads the Knesset’s caucus for children with cancer, calls on Health Minister Yaakov Litzman to intervene to prevent the resignations.
