The media, Amr Adib, received a live confrontation between Dr. Ahmed Hussein, a member of the Doctors Syndicate, and Captain Ahmed Hossam Mido, the former player of the Egyptian national team, after the attack launched by the latter because his father-in-law was not received in a private hospital while he was in a critical condition, which ended with him submitting an apology for his circulation in addition to a discussion. On “Waging the Battle for Health System Reform”.
Hussein said, during a telephone interview with the “Al-Hekaya” program broadcast on the “mbc Egypt” satellite channel, on Sunday evening, that the union went to the judicial authorities to hold a former football player (Ahmed Hossam Mido) accountable after he was subjected to a group of doctors with insults and slander, continuing: “We do not have a battle.” With people, and we deal with patients without any considerations, all of them are equal, whether a minister, a large number, an official or others.”
Hussein added: “Despite the poor capabilities in the health system, the words of the former football player about the neglect of doctors are incorrect, and the evidence is that the Corona virus crisis destroyed health systems in developed countries, and this did not happen in Egypt because of the medical team that was the most important factor in the health system during the pandemic.” “.
On the other hand, Mido began his speech by criticizing the member of the Medical Syndicate for not mentioning his name, saying: “Dr. Ahmed Hussein refused to mention my name in an attempt to cause a kind of contempt for football players, which is very clear from his speech, style and comparison between the salaries of football players compared to With doctors.”
Mido added: “Dr. Ahmed did not understand the content of the video that I published, and what happened was a distress from my wife’s family with the disease of my father-in-law and the deterioration of his condition. My family is all doctors, and do not put it in your mind that anyone who has reached less than 90% remains a failure and does not understand.” .
Mido continued, “I am the only famous sports journalist who wrote a blog post on the social networking site Twitter, and I demanded that the conditions of our doctors be improved and their wages increased in proportion to the great effort they are doing. I gave an example that my sister’s husband is a neurologist, whose salary is 9 thousand pounds, and I said it is not correct that A football player earns more than a doctor.”
Mido continued, “I was thinking that the Doctors Syndicate was the first people to relate to the video and stand with me and fight that the doctor’s condition was improving, but I was surprised that the union made a report to the Attorney General that Mido was inciting against the union.”
In turn, Hussein responded to Mido: “I have never demeaned football players, and if I talk about the health system, come, I will explain the problem to you in half an hour, because the health sector and the deteriorating capabilities that the government is responsible for, because government and private hospitals are under the control of the government. The one responsible for the system is the Minister of Health, the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic.
For his part, Mido responded, saying: “I am ready to go with you any time, and Mido is not afraid of anyone… and the first people who helped me with my problem were the Office of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.”
