Egypt to ban nurses from wearing veil
- Egypt: Sunday, February 24 - 2008 at 12:23
Egyptian nurses will be asked to uncover their faces and show their hands under a new rule soon to be enforced in Egypt's hospitals, reported The Peninsula. The new rule, which will be formally introduced in March, entails a new uniform for nurses and a ban on the face veil, known as 'niqab,' for ultra-religious medics. Out of 90,000 nurses working in state-owned hospitals, some 9,630 medics wear the face veil, according to figures of the Egyptian Ministry of Health.
