The Syndicate of the Doctors denied media report claiming the syndicate undersecretary Mona Mina has resigned over remarks of “using one Syringe twice,” Youm7 reported on Thursday.
Mina posted on her Facebook page that the rumors about the syringe aim to drag the public away from the crisis of shortage in medicine and medical supplies in the hospitals nationwide.
In a phone call with Sadal al Balad private satellite channel on Wednesday, Mina clarified she received a message from a doctor at a government hospital in Upper Egypt’s governorate of Asyut saying doctors were instructed to “reuse syringes more than once for the same patient due to shortages in medical supplies.”
Mina denied media reports claiming that her statement refers to all hospitals saying that it only referred to an “individual complaint.”
