Baby in critical condition after hospital foul-up
This JPost article notes that the Israel 2004 state comptroller’s report describes “the fatality rate among premature babies as among the highest in the western world. The report cites bad treatment, unacceptable hospitalization conditions, a lack of trained personnel, dangerous and obsolete equipment in a state of disrepair and loose supervision on the part of the health ministry.” I have no trouble believing this given our experiences with Israeli hospitals. It doesn’t matter how smart the doctors might be, care is inadequate.
