Sayed Fadlallah and Amal unwarrantedly denounced ban of veiled nurses
19-10-2020
News about the banning of veiled nurses studying at LAU from training at Mount Lebanon Hospital has sparked wide controversy on social media on Friday. Sayyid Ali Fadlallah described the measure as racist and harming the image of Lebanon and threatening co-existence and national unity. He appealed to the authorities to condemn and withdraw the measure. At the same time, Amal Movement-Health Office denounced what it termed as an irresponsible act, calling on concerned departments at the ministries of education and health to take the appropriate measures to prevent the recurrence of similar fanatical decisions. In turn, Mount Lebanon Hospital Administration categorically denied such accusations considering them as void and contemptible, reminding of the history of the prestigious health care institution. It made clear that the hospital never discriminated between doctors, nurses and administrative staff, stressing that its doors have always been and will remain open to diverse skills and capacities. The statement said that it is sad to engage the name of the hospital in unwanted disputes at this difficult time of the nation. For his part, the minister of health in the caretaker government, Hamad Hassan, disclosed in a tweet that all that’s been said about the hospital refusing veiled nurses is inaccurate.
