An oncology patient tells our source about their suffering from the poor quality of medical services in Tunisia
One of the patients present in Tunisia, Mohamed M’hamed, explained exclusively to our source that oncology patients in Tunisia suffer by all medical and humanitarian standards from the poor quality of medical services, the slow administrative procedures for opening files, the crowding in front of the embassy, and the large number of papers required for each dose or analysis, in addition to the distance between the embassy and the company’s headquarters to complete the procedures, the long waiting period under the sun, and the lack of toilets or sanitary conditions.
He also added: “The doctors responsible for oncology patients are among the least qualified doctors in Tunisia, not to mention the lack of attention to patients, poor treatment and failure to answer patients’ calls and inquiries.”
He continued that “Some clinics have limited beds to receive chemical doses, but a large number of patients are received, which causes crowding among patients and increases waiting hours.”
He wonders: “Why do they contract with a pharmacy in an area located on the outskirts of the capital, Tunis, in a popular area called “Raoued”, where the Libyan community does not reside and is far from the places where the Libyan community resides?”
He also explained that this pharmacy is a night pharmacy and cannot receive a dose of chemical or Medicines before 9:30 pm.
