ISRAELI HADASSAH HOSPITAL REFUSES SICK EX-DETAINEE

Ramallah, 21 Jumadil Akhir 1436/10 April 2015 (MINA) – The Israeli administration of Hadassah hospital in occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday (8/4) refused to receive a Palestinian patient, who had been released recently from an Israeli jail after a sharp decline in his health condition.

According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society, 22-year-old ex-detainee Jaafar Awad was transferred to al-Mizan hospital in al-Khalil after his health condition deteriorated further and reached a serious stage, Palestinian Information Center (PIC) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

At al-Mizan hospital, doctors had to recommend his transfer to Hadassah hospital due to his critical health status, but the latter declined his admission.
