Former health minister Dr Faouzi Mehdi said in a Facebook post on Wednesday that he learned of his dismissal through the media following a phone call from a friend.
Mehdi noted that he learned during his thirty years of military service that every mission has a beginning and an end. “In the meantime, I should never throw my gun or leave my post until the arrival of the one who will take over. I worked at the Ministry of Health with the reasoning of a minister, the ethics of a doctor and the honor of a soldier “.
The minister thanked the entire team that worked with him for ten months in the fight against the three waves of the epidemic.
