At a meeting with officials and representatives from the
health sector at Al Husseiniya Palace, King Abdullah urged providing continuous
training for medical cadres, within a plan to enhance performance.
His Majesty warned of shortcomings in the medical sector,
stressing the importance of learning from past mistakes and to continue
providing quality services to the public.
The King paid tribute to the two girls who passed away due
to
medical malpractice, stressing that this is unacceptable.
His Majesty also reiterated the importance of administrative
reform to address shortcomings and counter nepotism.
Speaking at the meeting, Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh
said the government is committed to advancing the health sector to offer
quality services and prevent medical malpractice, while ensuring hospitals are
staffed with efficient cadres who are regularly assessed.
The King listened to a briefing by Health Minister Feras
Al-Hawari, who noted that the issues facing the health sector are due to
mismanagement rather than lack of financial resources, in addition to a lack of
training and a misdistribution of cadres.
The minister said a restructuring of the Ministry of Health
concludes early next week, as part of measures to improve the sector’s
performance.
