Al-Bishi forcefully imposes a new director for the Prosthetics Center despite the opposition of the Ministry of Health
Today, Saturday, the Center for Prosthetics and Physical Therapy in Aden witnessed a reprehensible event represented by the storming of the office of the Center’s Director, Dr. Abdullah Muhammad Al-Qaisi, by a committee assigned by the Director General of the Health and Population Office in Aden, Ahmed Muthanna Al-Bishi.
p>The committee tried to impose a new director on the center by force, without any official administrative directives or orders.
The committee was accompanied by members of a heavily armed force, which caused a state of panic among the sick children, women, and war-wounded people present in the center.
The committee ignored the directives of the Minister of Health, Dr. Qasim Muhammad Buhaibah, requiring Dr. Al-Qaisi to remain in his position.
The Prosthetics and Physiotherapy Center Workers Union issued a statement denouncing what the committee did.
It called for stopping illegal activities and adhering to the laws and regulations regulating work at the center.
The union confirmed that the Prosthetics Center is subject to the Minister of Public Health and Population and that Dr. Al-Qaisi is the legitimate general director of the center.
The union announced its adherence to the management of Dr. Al-Qaisi, stressing his competence and integrity.
The Minister of Health issued a memorandum dated February 14, 2024, in which Al-Bishi directed that Dr. Al-Qaisi should continue in his position.
The memorandum confirmed that Dr. Al-Qaisi had been issued a ministerial decision appointing him to his current position, and that he had proven his competence during his tenure.
The memorandum asked Al-Bishi not to take any administrative measures against Dr. Al-Qaisi without referring to the ministry.
This incident raises fears of the politicization of humanitarian work in Aden. This incident is a dangerous precedent that threatens the stability of health services provided to patients in Aden. Everyone calls for the necessity of investigating this incident and taking the necessary measures to punish those responsible.
