Today (Saturday), the Bahraini Ministry of Health denied the existence of any case of tuberculosis in the Correction and Rehabilitation Center at the present time.
The ministry stated, in a statement, that the injured inmate had been transferred to the Salmaniya Medical Complex two weeks ago, and his condition is now stable, and he is still undergoing treatment and the necessary medical care.
And she confirmed that the procedures followed in such cases had been taken by the medical team based on international protocols, and all necessary precautionary checks had been completed on the rest of the inmates in contact to check on the health situation in general, stressing that no infections were detected among those in contact.
The ministry called for the necessity of obtaining information from its correct sources, and not paying attention to what is being circulated about the transmission of infection to inmates, or their failure to obtain the necessary medical care in this regard.
