The Cairo Appeals Prosecution released undersecretary of the Doctors Syndicate Mona Mina on EGP 10,000 bail, pending trial on Saturday. Despite the release, Khaled Ali, Mina’s lawyer, told Daily News Egypt that she may be referred to further investigations or to court, indicating that the case against her has not been closed. In response to Mina’s statements, the Ministry of Health denied that it gave such orders, and vowed to take legal action against Mina. The ministry said that her statements were aimed at creating panic among patients. The ministry also claimed that hospitals have a surplus in medical tools meant to last two years, which were bought under the supervision of the armed forces.
