What’s the Story? Dr. Lina Qasem-Hassan on Israeli medical apartheid

Israel’s health care system is recognized globally for its high quality of care and advanced technology, but according to Physicians for Human Rights Israel there are tremendous health disparities and inequality between Israel’s Jewish and Palestinian populations. This is especially true of those Palestinians living under Israeli military occupation. Dr. Lina Qasem-Hassan, Board Chairwoman of Physicians for Human Rights Israel, describes her experience as a Palestinian doctor in the Israeli health care system, as well as broader Israeli healthcare system policies towards Palestinians in Israel and those in the occupied territories. As told to producer/director Ghousoon Bisharat and cinematographer/editor Thomas Dallal.
