Employment problem
We are Bangladeshi physicians working at various levels of Rijal Almaa Hospital located in Assir region of KSA for a variable period of time under some Saudi companies. On successful completion of our working contract with the recruiting companies, most of us have been selected to work as physicians under the Ministry of Health (MOH) of Saudi Arabia. Those who have not been selected by MOH, have already managed jobs at some other private hospitals. Not only physicians but also nursing staffs, paramedics and technicians of this hospital are under the same process. This unique opportunity is appropriate not only for the medical staffs of Assir region but also for five other regions of this country. But due to some unwanted incidents involving some Bangladeshis that happened several weeks ago, the whole process of transfer of these staffs from the company to the ministry or other private hospitals has been stopped by the Ministry of Immigration of KSA. Near about 1500 Bangladeshi medical staffs including physicians, nursing staffs and paramedics from different regions of Saudi Arabia along with thousands of other professionals are going to be affected by the problem of transfer of ownership which is known as 'kafala transfer' locally and are in fear of forced exit from this country. We already have informed the Bangladesh Embassy about it and so far got no reply from them.
We will be much benefited if you cover the issue in your newspaper.
