The Ministry of Health is weighing a proposal to consider health workers who die of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus as martyrs, and to qualify for compensation like military and police officers killed in the line of duty.
Abdullah Al-Asiri, assistant deputy minister for preventive medicine, said the ministry?s human resources department was also considering moral and financial support for those medical staff dealing with infectious diseases. Al-Asiri?s statement follows the death of doctors and paramedics who contracted MERS.
Meanwhile, Makkah Gov. Prince Mishaal bin Abdullah arrived at King Fahd Hospital here Thursday to check on the condition of patients and staff. He urged health officials in the city to take all precautionary measures to contain the deadly virus and protect public health.
