Tue, 18 Sep 2012 00:00:00 +0000 c6ec6cf7-2165-4e08-8e11-c0972163a04d https://www.medsf.org/bahrain-access-healthcare-remains-concern-despite-reforms As Bahrain implements reforms following protests that started last year, a significant number of patients – from all political and religious backgrounds – continue to avoid seeking medical care in public hospitals due to perceived discrimination, harassment, and ill treatment, the international medical humanitarian organisation Médecins Sans Frontières (MEDSF) said today. Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000 e6076aa8-91ca-42cc-aaaa-e92707cbb232 https://www.medsf.org/msf-condemns-armed-raid-its-office-and-detention-its-staff-bahrain MEDSF condemns an armed raid on its premises in Bahrain and the subsequent detention of one of its staff members. It now appears that, in Bahrain today, acting within the common boundaries of the duty of care principle — in this case, providing first aid and calling an ambulance for a critically ill person — is no longer possible without negative repercussions on MEDSF’s ability to work in the country. MEDSF calls on the Bahraini authorities to respect the integrity, security, and privacy of its premises and personnel, and to allow the lawyer and family of its detained staff immediate access to him.

Despite assurances by the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Social Development that he could be visited, neither his family nor his lawyer has yet been granted access to him.

Teams are also assisting people who are fleeing to neighbouring countries. Wed, 23 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 7ac36d43-39f3-4128-a6db-107d02db8f29
