Health Authorities Deny Gender Mixing at Hospital Function
Yusuf Muhammad; 15/5/08
The Health Affairs Administration in Madinah has denied that an intermingling of sexes took place at a function organized by the city’s Maternity and Children’s Hospital to celebrate World Thalassemia Day on May 9. “An investigation committee found that men and women attending the function were seated separately as mandated by law, although a few women photographers crossed over to the men’s section to get a better view of stage events,” Adil Ashraf, a spokesman for the Health Affairs Administration in Madinah, told Arab News.
