JEDDAH, 13 August 2003 — An acutely ill AIDS patient was removed from the New Jeddah Clinic Hospital by security guards on Monday afternoon and dumped outside his place of work. The 57-year-old Indonesian, Abdul Rahim Mahmood, suffered cuts and bruises to his hands and face as a result of being violently ejected from the security guards’ car.

“Our doctors have examined him. As a result of our findings, and the inhumane manner in which he was treated, we have filed three complaints with the Ministry of Health against the New Jeddah Clinic Hospital.”

4. I can believe it because they have this problem....

People leave girls and old women in their hospital to be cared for and since the gov run the hospitals they do not like this and drop them out.They have some very nice hospitals usually run by West and some that you would not be dead in. They tend to bring the family in the small ones so also the goats come with them.
