Q&A Calls to Prioritize Child Health Over Insurance Limits
The article discusses the objection raised by Deputy Dr. Rawia Makhtar regarding the instructions requiring health insurance approval for students' sick leave excuses. She considers these procedures a health and social burden on children and their parents, raising concerns about the deterioration of children's health and educational rights. She called for accepting medical reports from government hospitals, university medical facilities, and licensed medical establishments without the need for re-examinations. Additionally, she emphasized the importance of considering emergency cases, chronic patients, and families in remote areas. She also warned that implementing these instructions during the peak of disease seasons could lead to the spread of infections and might encourage sick students to attend classes, thereby risking the health of other students. The deputy demanded a halt to the implementation of the new decisions until they are reviewed and children’s rights and public health are protected, with special exceptions made for contagious and emergency cases.
