West Bank-based heart surgeon facing deportation

author Monday January 29, 2007 07:52author by IMEMC Contributor - 1 of IMEMC Editorial Group Report this post to the editors

Dirgham Abu Ramadan, one of the few doctors in Palestine who performs open-heart surgery, is now facing deportation by the Israeli government due to their new restrictions on foreigners living in the West Bank.

"I have several open heart surgeries lined up for today, and I'm the only open-heart surgeon to carry out these operations. Deporting me would endanger the lives of those patients," Abu Ramadan told Reuters.
