According to the investigations, the events of the incident began when a person, accompanied by his brother and a number of women, arrived at the hospital emergency room as a result of a minor bleeding, at a time when all gynecologists were busy with other surgeries.

It turned out that when the nurse informed the doctor of the details of the case, he requested that X-rays and some analyzes be performed until the completion of the surgeries, but the person accompanying the case refused that and demanded the necessity and speedy examination of the case, then directed insults towards the hospital staff.

Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, the official spokesman for the ministry, said that the minister directed that all legal measures be taken, and a police report issued in the name of the hospital to ensure the preservation of the rights of members of the nursing staff, and the right of the state regarding the damage caused to the hospital.

He added that immediately after the incident occurred, the minister instructed the undersecretary in Menoufia Governorate to go to the hospital, prepare a detailed report on the incident, its causes and circumstances, and the injuries suffered by members of the nursing staff, and list the hospital’s damages.

The General Nursing Syndicate, headed by Dr. Kawthar Mahmoud, head of the Nursing Syndicate and a member of the Senate, denounced the attack, which caused the injury of 5 nurses and the miscarriage of another nurse, in addition to the injury of 3 female workers.
