#Bahrain #البحرين @MOH_Bahrain Definition of "Dual Loyalty Conflict": PHR’s report reveals that the Ministry of Health issued a “circular” on January 31, 2012 stating that all private hospitals and clinics were now obligated to report to Government security authorities all incoming patients “with injuries due to suspected criminal activities and/or accidents irrespective [of] their causes.... Violation of these requirements shall constitute collaboration with such activities and is criminalized by law.”
This Ministerial law further militarizes the Bahraini health care system by forcing medical workers to be agents of the state and creating a dual loyalty conflict. A dual loyalty conflict arises when health professionals are torn between their duties to their patients and their obligations to an employer, government, insurer, or the military.
