Prof. Arnon Wiesnitzer, director of the Women’s Hospital, said: “This is a violent and more severe wave than its predecessors, which also affects the population of young pregnant women.” Dr. Ilya Kagan, director of the Corona Intensive Care Unit at Beilinson Hospital: “The mother’s condition is very difficult and unstable. She is in real danger of death and we are fighting for her life.”
The patient was evacuated to Beilinson from Laniado Hospital in Netanya, due to a shortage of hospital beds. Balenado is hospitalized with another mother, in the 34th week of her pregnancy, who also experienced a significant worsening of her condition, accompanied by significant respiratory difficulty.
Earlier today, she was hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Sheba Hospital in the mid-30s of her life, which is in the 21st week of her pregnancy. The patient was transferred from the corona ward to the intensive care unit due to a worsening of her condition. She is breathing but is conscious and her condition is severely defined.
The director of the intensive care unit, Dr. Yael Habib, said: “In this wave we are encountering more and more cases of young people with a serious illness that the disease definitely affects them to a life-threatening state. It is no longer an illness of adults with background diseases.”
