The Muslim Brotherhood Meddles with Yemen’s Healthcare System… What Have They Done?
Corruption from the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the healthcare sector in some liberated Yemeni provinces, most of which suffer from resource shortages and lack of medication.
According to sources cited by Middle Net, medical equipment entered Yemen under the name of the Taiz Health Office in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Population, but this equipment quickly found its way to one of the city’s newly established private hospitals owned by a Muslim Brotherhood figure.
Sources confirmed that the former director of the health office had refused to release the equipment from the health warehouses in Al-Nour City, arguing it belonged to the state. However, he eventually relented before being ousted by handing it over to Muslim Brotherhood investor Tarek Naiman.
The sources also indicated that the former health office director had faced pressure from the Minister of Health and the Muslim Brotherhood leadership in Taiz to hand over the equipment, even though it was registered in the name of the health office and entered Yemen on that basis.
It’s not ruled out that the dismissal of the former health office director was related to his refusal to hand over the medical equipment to a private hospital run by a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, which blocked a main street in the heart of the city to construct the new hospital, despite lacking a license from the relevant authorities. Governor Nabil Shamsan became involved in its inauguration.
Additionally, activists have also mentioned new expansions of the illegal hospital aimed at seizing the sidewalk of Jamal Street.
Activists have also highlighted that no surgical operation is conducted without the payment of exorbitant fees, often in dollars, and numerous cases related to medical errors, negligence, and corruption have been brought against him in Yemeni courts.
