Police have launched an investigation into a suspected illegal home birth operation in Jerusalem after rescue teams were called to the same address for the third time due to a complicated delivery. On Wednesday, a baby was born without a pulse or breathing. Paramedics performed advanced resuscitation, successfully restoring a pulse, and the infant was transported to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in critical condition.
Initial reports suggest that births have been taking place at the doula's home without proper medical supervision. This is not the first time rescue services have been summoned to the location for a problematic home birth. According to suspicions, the operation functions without regulation or medical accompaniment.
The baby's father reportedly initially refused to allow his son to be evacuated to the hospital. Volunteer doctors from United Hatzalah described finding the newborn unconscious and without vital signs, requiring immediate resuscitation before being taken to the hospital.
The police are investigating the circumstances of the incident and the alleged operation of unregulated home births.
