An MP who claimed his father passed away as a result of a nurse’s medical error called on his colleagues to stop blaming the entire health service in Bahrain for individual mistakes.
Bader Al Dossary accused fellow MPs of washing their dirty linen in public and distorting the kingdom’s image as a leader in health care.
“I lost the most precious human being in my world due to a medical error by a nurse – my father,” he told the session being held remotely.
“MPs should stop distorting Bahrain’s image and its medical strides to be a leader in the field – it was a nurse’s fault, not anyone else’s.
“There is no organised institutional crime. Why hang out our dirty laundry when the world’s eyes are on us?”
He urged MPs to meet Health Minister Faeqa Al Saleh in her office and to put their concerns to her directly.
His comments were made during a lengthy debate on an investigation into medical negligence at government hospitals.
