{The Ministry of Health has warned medical workers who neglect patients and instead arrogantly talk long telephone conversations or doing other petty time-wasting deeds.
}
The ministry made the warning after receiving complaints from several patients, decrying poor services resulting from workers’ bent on social networks.
The state minister in MINISANTE, Ndimubanzi Patrick has requested doctors to be ethical and concentrate their efforts on treating patients. He made this call yesterday during the campaign to mobilize patients to voluntarily get tested of non-communicable diseases. The campaign was organized in collaboration with King Faisal Hospital.
“In general, we want doctors to devote enough time taking care of patients. They should not talk on phones while listening to or diagnosing patients,” he advised.
He requested patients who feel deprived of proper handling to report to the administration of respective hospitals or use the suggestion box to register their grievances.
