Egypt Removes Ban on Doctors Going to Work in Saudi Arabia
After the long arguments and feuds involving mistreatment of Egyptian doctors in Saudi Arbia, Egypt had banned its citizens from working there, as a means of keeping incidents from occurring again. Two Egyptian doctors were accused and found guilty of misusing their practices by illegally selling pharmaceuticals, and one doctor was charged with having an affair with a female patient. Since then, Egyptian and Saudi Arabian authorities have been working together quietly to come to an agreement about what the Egyptian government considers unfair punishment for the two men. Tuesday, Egypt has announced that they will allow their citizens to work in the Kingdom again, as long as they receive equal treatment as their Saudi counterparts. This announcement appears to show that the two countries representatives have come to an agreement about the dispute.
