King Hamad reshuffled Bahrain’s cabinet Monday, dropping the Gulf state’s first ever woman minister while keeping another woman in the government.
Health minister Nada Haffadh, who joined the government in 2004, was replaced by Faisal Al Hamr, a former dean of Health Sciences College, according to a decree issued by the king and published by the official BNA news agency.
Haffadh revealed to the press earlier this month that she had tendered her resignation in April following the formation of a parliamentary commission to investigate the work of the health ministry.
