The medical employees of Al-Bahar Eye Hospital in Al-Sabah Health Zone expressed their disappoint­ment over the dysfunctio­nal fingerprin­t attendance system at the hospital, which has been forcing them to go to other places to register their attendance. They also lamented about Ministry of Health’s procrastin­ation in replacing the dysfunctio­nal devices, reports Al-Shahed daily.

According to informed sources, some employees have been reporting very late for duty under the excuse of fingerprin­t attendance.

The system has been dysfunctio­nal for almost six months now and employees are forced to register their attendance at Ibn Sina Hospital as the ministry is unable to replace or fix the dysfunctio­nal attendance system.

The employees lodged complaints with the management of the hospital and demanded the system to be repaired but did not receive any positive response. They are now requesting the leadership of Ministry of Health to expedite in repairing the system especially since registerin­g their attendance at Ibn Sina Hospital is causing delays for them, and it is also not logical to register attendance at places other than their own workplace.
