Dr. Hadas Malada-Matzri (born 1984) is the first Ethiopian Israeli female doctor in the Israel Defense Forces.

Malada-Matzri was born in Ethiopia and emigrated to Israel in 1988 in Operation Solomon.[1] At that time, she suffered from malnutrition and malaria that she had contracted in a Sudan refugee camp. She spent her first six months in Israel in rehabilitation and has said in interviews that this experience is what led her to become a doctor.[2][3]

She earned a medical degree from Ben Gurion University of the Negev and served for five years as a medical officer with the rank of captain in the Israel Defense Forces.[4][3]

She is an activist against racism and works to promote the full inclusion of Ethiopian children in educational and social opportunities.[5] Malada-Matzri helped found the Ethiopian Israeli Health Promotion Forum, a group of over 400 doctors, nurses, and other health professionals from Ethiopian Israeli backgrounds.[4][6]
