    The National Council of the Deanship of Algerian Doctors issued instructions prohibiting all hospitals and health institutions from issuing work and good conduct certificates it immigrants.

    These instructions coincided with the new facilities announced by France to Algerian doctors and the recognition of their certificates that will enable them to work abroad.

     Doctors were surprised by the instructions of the National Council of the Deanship, which requires the suspension of the granting of work and good conduct certificates for doctors and freezing the submission of files until the issuance of other instructions, without specifying the reasons behind this or the period of suspension.

    Al-Shorouq reported that the number of Algerian doctors in France amounted to more than 15,000 which is equivalent to 25 per cent of the competent medical staff, in addition to doctors in various countries of the European Union.
