Amman attack on female doctor sparks outrage
The incident of an assault on a female doctor inside a private hospital in the Tla‘ Al-Ali area on Thursday evening sparked widespread outrage in Jordan. She was beaten by accompanying individuals of a patient while performing her professional duties. The event triggered a wave of criticism against the Medical Syndicate, which is repeatedly accused of failing to protect medical staff, especially in light of the increasing assaults targeting both male and female doctors alike. Activists and medical personnel emphasized that the Syndicate has fallen short in providing a safe working environment and has overlooked critical issues such as legal protection and retirement rights. This has heightened dissatisfaction and condemnation of the union’s stance, amid calls for the enactment of strict laws to respond legally and penalize those who attack doctors.
