Scabies infection is spreading in Rafic Hariri University Hospital among two nursing staff, and sources from within the hospital confirm that there are 200 cases between an infected person and a close contact after the infection was transmitted from a patient to a nurse. However, there is another reason related to job negligence, and the absence of the head of the nursing department from her work to manage another “job” in the Ministry of Health in exchange for a dollar in exchange for a fresh dollar, which opens the door to the cave of corruption in the fourth floor of the Ministry’s building.

Recently, the talk of workers at Rafik Hariri University Hospital was about colleagues coming in the morning to “pack” attendance before heading to other work outside the hospital, and returning at noon to “bag” departures, and receiving attendance allowance at the end of the month. This was the latest repercussions of the negligence, corruption, and mismanagement that governed a hospital that was intended to be a medical and scientific edifice in the capital… before news “spread” that covered everything else, about the spread of the contagious disease “scabies” among a large number of workers within the nursing staff. in the hospital! Sources from within the hospital confirm the spread of scabies infection among workers, and that the number of infected and suspected cases who have come in contact with them “has reached more than 200,” and that the number of infections “is rising with sick cases being recorded on an almost daily basis.” What is worse is that the infection was transmitted through one of the patients due to the lack of public protection and safety measures, and the workers themselves not adhering to hygiene standards, and their treatment of sick cases with ease. It is natural in cases like this that patients would be isolated, which did not happen, so “things went wrong in the hospital, and the contagion became mixed with the contagion and the infection became mutual: patients transmitted it to nurses, and they transmitted it to other patients and to those they came into contact with outside of work.”

Who bears responsibility?
In the general aspect, responsibility falls on all those responsible for the management of this public facility who neglected their duties and neglected, intentionally or unintentionally, the affairs of the hospital and its workers. In private, there are nurses and workers who are supposed to be affiliated with the nursing department, which bears full responsibility for the outcome of matters. However, the head of the department, W. Ghalayini, who is directly responsible for nurses’ affairs, “does not attend the hospital most days, and is absent from everything that is going on,” according to hospital workers, as she is “busy preparing an emergency plan for the country in the event of a war, after she was assigned to manage the health emergency operating room.” » Which was established in cooperation with the World Health Organization to confront the repercussions of the war.
Ghalayini, who is absent from her primary job as head of the nursing department with a monthly salary, and who “competes” with the acting general director of the hospital, Jihad Saadeh, for his remaining powers, is present everywhere else: in the Ministry of Health, seconded to manage the emergency room in exchange for a second salary she receives from the Health Organization. International with “Fresh Dollar”. She is also among those delegated by the Ministry to travel abroad (and receives travel allowances) to participate in conferences, while the male and female nurses in her department stage a sit-in every month to collect their salaries, which are paid in lira.
But, why was a “nurse” assigned to manage the emergency room, after she surpassed, by decision of Minister Firas Abyad, all those with experience in the field of emergency among those working in the ministry? Where does she have the authority to accompany her colleagues who fingerprint in the hospital and work at the Ministry? Why create an emergency room when it was possible to suffice with an emergency program attached to one of the ministry’s interests, as happened during the July 2006 aggression?

The ministry’s employees cannot find answers to these and other questions, and one of them says: “We now see many people we do not know working in the ministry and receiving salaries in dollars from the World Health Organization for work that employees can do for much less.” In addition to the “army” of the World Health Organization, which now has the broadest powers in the ministry, from the minister’s office down to the directorates, departments, and “countries,” in addition to the World Bank, which “owns” an office in the ministry, and the “workers’ association” that entered through the Corona window to manage The call center, as a non-profit association, has begun paying allowances in dollars to some employees.
Ministry employees feel “estranged” in their “ministry” in front of the large number of “strangers” who have invaded it, especially in “the fourth floor, where the minister’s office, the World Bank staff office, and the emergency room are located, as we are not allowed to go up to that floor, while entering the room.” Which is managed by Ghalayini requires having a code.” The same applies to “the rest of the fourth-floor rooms, each of which had an intercom placed on the door,” which was what Al-Akhbar examined.
Thus, the Ministry is filled with employees who are “recruited” to carry out tasks that are part of the Ministry’s work, while the Minister rejected suggestions presented to him by requesting that the Health Organization give monthly assistance worth $100 to each employee instead of giving thousands of dollars to a limited number of employees or those who were brought to the Ministry. The employees find no justification other than “coaxing funding and benefiting from favoritism,” as happens, for example, in the emergency room run by Ghalayini and those she brought in and some of the ministry’s employees who are favored by the minister.” They receive salaries ranging between one thousand and two thousand dollars per month, in addition to $500 for the trained doctor in hospitals for each day of training, and $250 for the nurse for each field visit! The “Hotline call center” was also attached to it, which has no less than five employees who receive calls about medicines and have nothing to do with displacement or the repercussions of the war.
