An important clarification from the General Union of Doctors regarding its previous statement confirms the general medical union ' s full concern to preserve the dignity of the patient and respect for their rights, and that the dignity of the patient is an integral part of the principles of the exercise of the profession that we all seek to consolidate and strengthen.
In this regard, the General Medical Association has continued with the Alexandria Medical Association, which closely follows up on developments concerning the Shubi hospital on social media sites, as well as the investigations carried out by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Alexandria to ascertain the facts in progress.

The union calls upon all medical personnel, as well as patients and their relatives, to file a complaint with the competent public trade union or sub-unions in the event of any abuse or unacceptable practices by any doctor.
The General Union of Doctors asserts that it will deal with all the complaints received very seriously and will take the necessary steps to investigate them promptly, ensuring the protection of patients ' rights, the preservation of professional ethics and the accountability of any violation in accordance with applicable law and professional controls.
The General Medical Association notes that it receives complaints via telephone number 01095111247, in order to facilitate channels of communication and to ensure that any communications are dealt with promptly, for examination and action in accordance with the rules and regulations governing trade unions.
