FNAM accuses Government of diverting doctors from wards to emergencies

The National Federation of Doctors (FNAM) criticizes a recent government directive that reallocates doctors from inpatient wards to emergency services, arguing it compromises patient care. The directive, effective immediately, allows emergency team leaders to pull doctors from wards, raising concerns about legality and patient safety. FNAM highlights that this measure does not increase the number of doctors in the National Health Service but merely shifts their location. They express that this could leave hospitalized patients without adequate medical attention during critical times. The federation also points out the lack of consideration for varying hospital conditions and the potential negative impact on patient discharge and evaluations. FNAM urges doctors to formally document mobilizations and report any issues to ensure patient care is not compromised.
