An exception was approved by the Council of Ministers to appoint 300 new nurses and 100 doctors to join the medical staff at Al-Bashir Hospitals, said the Minister of Health, Saad Jaber, on Sunday.

Jaber visited Al-Bashir hospitals hours after the Director, Mahmoud Zureikat, resigned from his post.

Zureikat retracted his resignation after meeting with the minister and being promised more staff members.

During the meeting, Jaber said he would do all that he can to accelerate the procedure of appointing more medical and nursing staff in one month, to raise the efficiency of services provided to patients.

Member of Parliament, Khalil Attia, said Jaber told him the Ministry will not accept Zureikat’s resignation.

"This is a wise decision and Dr. Zureikat is doing his duty excellently," he wrote on his Facebook page.
