Editorial Prepared by Mrs. Rawan Hazboun During the month of July 2015 we received Dr. Nathalie Feodor Othman from Russia birth on the 1974, studied General medicine at St. Petersburg Pavlov State Medical University .

she finished her residency program at Holy Family Hospital Bethlehem from 2005 to 2008. and now she works as a Consultant in obstetric and gynecol-ogy with our Mobile clinic team.

since , we received our new mobile clinic on February 2013 and we are still performing a very excellent job reaching the modest forgotten places in the region of Bethlehem for giving a higher standard of care for the mothers and ladies who cannot reach our Hospital for any rea-sons.

It is purely humanitarian mission that was submitted and approved many years ago by the Order of Malta and the Daughters of Charity as a cornerstone of their mission “ the poorest deserve the best”.

Finally, we would like to thank everyone who is interested of the Holy Family Hospital, the hospital where there is always a place in the inn for all.

Yasmine and Baby LARA

On Thursday June 18, 2015 very early in the morning Yasmine, a 24 year old housewife from Hebron, went into labor and rushed to Holy Family Hospital so quickly. This is Yasmine’s first pregnancy. Yasmine was following her pregnancy at a doctor outside Holy Family Hospital. Her doctor recommended that Yasmine should deliver at Holy Family Hospital since it is the safest hospital. After arriving to the hospital Yasmine was examined by a Midwife and a resi-dent doctor. Dr. Nihad Salsa’, Medical Director, said “ It was very early in the morning and I was getting ready to go to the hospital when my phone rang; the Resident Doctor diagnosed Yasmine to have umbilical cord prolapsed; a condition that threatens the baby’s survival and immediate measures has to be taken. Within few minutes I was in the Hospital to find a great team work among the hospital staff starting from the Midwifes, the Resident Doctor, the four OB/GYN Consultants, Anesthesia Doctor and the Operating Theater Nurses; the operating room was ready and the patient was already there”. Yasmine describes the situation saying “suddenly I saw more than five doctors surrounding my bed and within seconds I was sent to the operating room and a C/S was conducted” During the surgery there was blood in the uterus, this is a condition called placental abruption which puts the mother and baby at jeopardy and any second is counted for saving the life of both the mother and baby. Dr. Nihad Salsa’, the Medical Director, said” the great team work among the hospital medical team was the reason behind saving the life of both the mother and baby. Within minutes the mother was sent to the operating room and the C/S was conducted and completed” Baby Lara and Yasmine are in a very good condition; their lives were saved.
