Ministry tells nurses to skip third fingerprint during surgeries

• The Ministry of Health said that if the fingerprint cannot be made, a fingerprint exemption form should be filled out.

The Ministry of Health has instructed nursing staff in the operations department to remain in the department and not leave for the morning fingerprint check between 9 and 10 a.m. in case of any operations, according to Al Qabas newspaper.

The ministry explained that if the fingerprint cannot be made, a fingerprint exemption form should be filled out.

According to Al-Qabas newspaper, this circular was issued after the approval of the third fingerprint system to verify employee attendance at state agencies.

The source added that this circular confirms a model prepared in advance since the introduction of the flexible fingerprint system in the Ministry of Health. It allows for exemptions if fingerprinting is not possible due to circumstances such as conducting surgical operations and other tasks assigned to medical and nursing staff.
