A shocking incident shook the communication sites in Egypt, where the pioneers of the social networking site shared a video revealing that some people in Karbaj attacked nurses inside an Egyptian government hospital.
The assault caused a bleeding to a pregnant nurse, and then her fetus was aborted, injuring others.
A video clip revealed the incident that took place in Quesna Central Hospital in Menoufia Governorate, northern Egypt, where a quarrel occurred between the patient’s family and the nurses, and it appeared that some people assaulted the nursing staff in Karbaj, amid the screams of those present and great chaos.
According to the investigations, the events of the incident began when a person, accompanied by his brother and a number of women, arrived at the hospital emergency room as a result of a minor bleeding, at a time when all gynecologists were busy with other surgeries.
It turned out that when the nurse informed the doctor of the details of the case, he requested that X-rays be performed and some analyzes until the completion of the surgeries, but the person accompanying the case refused that and demanded the necessity and speed of examining the case, then directed insults towards the hospital staff.
According to the nurses’ statements, the women accompanying the case began to threaten the hospital’s nursing staff and threatened to beat them, after which two people entered the women’s ward and beat all the nurses in the department.
And the Egyptian Ministry of Health announced the speed of the investigation into the incident, as Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Minister of Health, requested that he be provided with the results of an urgent investigation.
Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, the official spokesman for the ministry, said that the minister directed that all legal measures be taken, and a police report issued in the name of the hospital, to ensure the preservation of the rights of members of the nursing staff, and the right of the state regarding the damage caused to the hospital.
He added that immediately after the incident occurred, the minister instructed the undersecretary in the Menoufia Governorate to go to the hospital, prepare a detailed report on the incident, its causes and circumstances, the injuries suffered by members of the nursing staff, and an inventory of hospital damage.
The General Nursing Syndicate, headed by Dr. Kawthar Mahmoud, head of the Nursing Syndicate and a member of the Senate, denounced the attack, which caused the injury of 5 nurses and the miscarriage of another nurse, in addition to the injury of 3 female workers.
The nursing captain called on the concerned authorities to quickly investigate the incident, to take urgent legal measures against the person who caused the incident.
