AMMAN — The Health Ministry on Monday condemned a recent attack on a doctor at Al Bashir Hospital by people accompanying a patient at the emergency ward, and it took legal action against the reported assailants.
Hatem Azrui, the ministry’s spokesperson, noted that preventive measures taken by the ministry and other relevant institutions against perpetrators have “significantly” contributed to reducing assaults against medical cadres while on duty, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
In January 2016, the ministry registered only two attacks on medical staff, compared with eight in the same month of 2015, he noted.
