At Hadassah Hospital, they warn tonight (Monday) that they will no longer receive Corona patients, except for patients whose condition is serious when it comes to urgent treatment.

Hadassah asked the Ministry of Health to "regulate medium-sized patients to the center", due to the unusual burden on corona wards, and against the background of the budget crisis of independent hospitals that have been protesting since the beginning of the week demanding a budget for day-to-day operations.

In recent days, the number of corona patients at Hadassah has reached 142, more than half of them, 75, are in a critical and critical condition, with most of them under the age of 60. This is the highest number of hospitalized corona patients among the hospitals.

As you may recall, at the height of the second wave, 150 patients were hospitalized.

On Wednesday, the struggle of the seven independent hospitals is expected to intensify: Hadassah, Shaare Zedek, Laniado, Maayan Hayeshua and the hospitals in Nazareth.

They announced that they would undergo treatment "on an emergency basis only" - in doing so, they would only treat corona patients and not perform non-urgent treatments.

Hadassah wants to avoid this step and therefore decided to reduce the hospitalization of corona patients, and even hints that they will not join the struggle on Wednesday due to the difficulty of not accepting patients.

Hadassah said: "It has not escaped anyone's notice that Hadassah is currently in severe cash flow distress with rising debtors to suppliers, stopping issuance of perishable medical equipment and medicines, and a big question mark over its ability to fund the February 1 salary. In addition to his powers to treat non-Corona patients, withholding support for Hadassah creates a terrible and even near-impossible functional difficulty. " 

"With no choice, and with great fear of being in a situation of lack of means in front of a patient whose life depends on him, Hadassah is forced to activate a mechanism of rationing in the least urgent treatments and keep the little that remains for the urgent patients." And ask the ministry to take care of them for urgent hospitalization in the center of the country. "
