Thursday, during the Minister of Health Dr. Firas Al-Hawari's inspection tour of Prince Hamzah Hospital, a citizen interjected to talk with the minister about the situation of his sick father in the hospital. 

The man told Al-Hawari that his father and mother entered the hospital and were forced to share an oxygen device, due to the device originally given to his father not functioning properly. 

He added that his father was transferred to intensive care, and his family has not been provided with any information about his father's health status.

The citizen, holding back tears, confirmed that his father was in good health before entering the hospital and is now close to death, saying that this is due to the negligence of the hopsital. 

He demanded the respect of the medical staff for the families of patients. 

He said that there is clear negligence by doctors, and that the hospital only abides by public safety measures when officials are visiting.
