Dr Kawthar Mahmoud, head of the nursing union and member of the Senate, revealed the details of the attack which took place against the nursing staff at Quesna Central Hospital.
The Nursing Syndicate said in a statement on Friday that the events of the incident began when a person, accompanied by his brother and a number of women, arrived at the emergency room at Quesna Central Hospital, following one of the women who was suffering from light bleeding, at the same time as all the gynecologists were busy with other operations, and when the nurse informed the doctor, with the details of the case, she was asked to perform an ultrasound and some analysis until the completion of the interventions.
And he added: «If the case escort refused and asked for the need to discuss the case and started insulting the hospital staff, at the same time he accompanied the nurse to the case and deposited her in an emergency bed to lead the ultrasound and the required analyzes until it was discussed.
According to nursing testimony in the hospital, the women accompanying the case began to threaten the hospital nursing staff and threaten to beat them, after which two men entered the women’s ward and beat all the nurses in the ward.
She pointed out that 5 nurses were injured and another nurse miscarried, as well as 3 female workers injured as a result of that incident.
“Mahmoud” said he will not waive the rights of his nurses, who perform their role to the fullest without default, emphasizing the need to address cases of assaults on nursing staff in hospitals, as intimidating nursing staff will not be in the interests of developing the healthcare system.
