Health Minister's Bird Flu Comment
Health Minister’s Bird Flu Comment
Yesterday I was watching a show on the Egyptian Satellite channel about the avian influenza that are currently spreading in Egypt and they had the Egyptian minister of Health “Hatem El Gabaly” who was upset about the people calling to report dead birds sightings everywhere and he said via telephone that people should hold the dead bird and discard it in the garbage container instead of complaining to the government all the time.
I was shocked by the minister’s comment because handling a dead bird could transmit the disease to the handler and thus increase the epidemic. This irresponsible comment by the minister of health shows just how ignorant officials who run the country are, and that is so sad.
The government was so late in tackling the issue even though they knew it will hit Egypt sooner or later. They should have prepared better to save us the current panic and chaos.
It is just another example of the poor leadership of this country.
