This act of kindness and compassion has been recognized by the union as an exemplary display of the values of mercy, care, and attention to patients that are inherent in the nursing profession.
Dr. Mahmoud emphasized that nursing care goes beyond just providing medical treatment and executing medical procedures. It also involves considering patients' human and psychological needs while adhering to professional and medical guidelines.

Dr. Al-Qala agreed to grant Mohamed a scholarship to complete his studies at the nursing college.
The scholarship represents significant support for Mohamed to further his education and advance his career.
