Tunisia-Angry after the death of their colleague, doctors shout “dégage ” to the Minister of Health

Health workers assembled today, Friday, December 4, 2020, in front of the Ministry of Health in Tunis, in memory of their colleague, Badreddine Aloui, who passed away last night at Jendouba hospital by falling into a cage of a broken elevator. Demonstrators chanted “dégage  ” to the Minister of Health Faouzi Mehdi who was called to step down after this terrible tragedy.

The protesters evoked that conditions in public hospitals are decaying day by day while saying officials, and the minister, has done nothing tangible to change the situation.

“The managers are in their offices, they don’t know anything about our reality. And even when they are informed, they proceed to pretend to see nothing, to know nothing. Today we pay for our health, our lives, “they regretted.

“Our colleague died in the prime of his life … his parents are going to bury him today, because of the authorities’ indifference and lack of responsibility. We are no longer going to be silent! “Added the doctors.
