Unemployed despite years of training, 24 Bahraini family medicine specialists were backed by Parliament yesterday through an urgent recommendation calling for their immediate hiring.
MP Hasan Ebrahim, who submitted the recommendation, said the doctors had finished all study, training and professional requirements, yet remained without posts.
“Twenty-four doctors and female doctors face the spectre of unemployment, despite successfully completing all requirements of study, training and professional qualification,” he said.
He added that the group had expected to be taken on in the same way as earlier cohorts, but instead found themselves without work or cover.
“After more than eleven years of study, training and continuous qualification, they expected that the natural end of this path would be employment, like all previous batches, but they found themselves unemployed, without jobs and without health insurance,” he said.
The recommendation calls for the doctors to be hired in primary healthcare centres and at Salmaniya Medical Complex.
