2023-09-11 11:35:54

The head of the Lebanese Doctors Syndicate in Beirut, Youssef Bakhash, pointed out that “a significant percentage of new doctors use their certificates as a mandatory crossing point for a long migration, as according to estimates, about forty percent of them leave the country to specialize or to search for better opportunities for a decent life that every human being deserves, and that is what It increases the gross shortage in some specialties and affects the life of the Lebanese patient, who is increasingly entering the danger zone.”

Al-Bakhash pointed out, in a speech he delivered during the medical oath-taking ceremony for a number of new doctors who joined the Doctors Syndicate, that “today you take the medical oath to respect medical ethics, adhere to it, and abide by its contents, and you join the mother union, which will, starting today, become your professional and legal reference and your second home.” “.

He stressed, “You are not required to take the state’s place to correct mistakes, but rather to show a spirit of professional responsibility. I call on each of you to cling to your homeland, and if you want to travel to specialize, let it be in the hope of returning, and providing the medical sector with everything new in preparation for returning Lebanon to the Middle Eastern health map.” “.
