Healthcare staff protest at Fatouma Bourguiba Hospital
This morning, Tuesday, August 11, 2026, the Fattouma Bourguiba Hospital in Monastir held a solidarity protest to denounce an assault on a healthcare worker while performing their professional duties. The demonstration, which began in front of the hospital’s administrative building, was organized by the doctors and hospital staff unions. It aimed to highlight the recurring attacks on healthcare professionals within medical facilities, particularly in the ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgery department. Participants emphasized that these assaults are very violent and contribute to a sense of insecurity among staff. They called for the establishment of a continuous security checkpoint inside the hospital to ensure the safety of both employees and patients.
