The Bahrain Medical Society (BMS) on Thursday threatened to take legal action against the health ministry if it endorsed a parliament motion demanding that patients be treated only by doctors and nurses of the same sex.”We will also sue any health official with medical accreditation who takes an active part in the proposed measures banning opposite gender medical examination. The legal action will be based on violating the principles of medical practice and on promoting sexual discrimination,” Dr Abdullah Al Ajmi, the society president, said in a press statement.
