Hadassah Delivers Baby on Ben Gurion Entrance Plaza
19-Jul-2010
When a car arrived at the Hadassah Medical Center’s Ben Gurion Plaza with a pregnant young woman already in labor and beginning to give birth, Pnina Sharon, Head Nurse of the Judy and Sidney Swartz Center for Emergency Medicine, rushed outside to help, while Hadassah’s obstetricians were called out for an emergency delivery.
When Dr. Javier Mejia, the first gynecologist to respond, reached the car, the baby was already half way out. Shortly, a healthy boy was born and the mother and her newborn were taken inside to a delivery room. The 23-year-old woman has a record of unique delivery at Hadassah. She gave birth to her first baby a few years ago in the hallway leading to the delivery rooms!
