Dr. Hamad Al-Enezi, a highly respected neurosurgeon, recently resigned from Kuwait’s Ministry of Health under controversial circumstances. The resignation followed his suspension for sharing a video of a patient walking after surgery, a move that sparked both support and criticism. The patient had requested the video to be shared, but it led to Dr. Al-Enezi facing disciplinary action from the Ministry.

In his resignation announcement, Dr. Al-Enezi expressed deep gratitude towards the Ministry, his colleagues, and supporters, emphasizing that his decision was due to “private reasons.” This announcement triggered a massive reaction on social media, with many Kuwaitis rallying in his support, sharing their opinions on the Ministry’s actions.

Social media platforms were flooded with mixed reactions—some praised Dr. Al-Enezi for his dedication and transparency, while others criticized the Ministry’s handling of the situation. Many pointed out the broader implications of his resignation, questioning whether the Ministry’s approach to disciplinary actions was fair, especially given that the video was shared at the patient’s request. The case has ignited a broader debate about the relationship between medical professionals and the government in Kuwait, highlighting the challenges faced by those who push the boundaries in their fields.
