Claim for ID. 152.500 by Miss
N. Bolomey against the Meir Elias
Hospital, Baghdad
Please attach postage for the reply to any request
and deal with only one subject per letter.
Mr. President,
I have the honor to refer to our interview yesterday
which you were kind enough to grant me regarding the dismissal of
Miss Bolomey. Following your kind recommendation, I went
yesterday evening to the hospital where I had the opportunity to discuss
the matter with your competent director, Mr. Jacoob Issa Abdulla.
Dr. Joseph Kattan also attended this discussion. -
Following the request of your director, I take the
liberty of providing you below with a summary of the case in question
which presents itself -according to Miss Bolomey's indications- as
follows:
By various letters from Dr. Sostman, director at
the hospital at that time, Miss Bolomey was hired at the Meir Elias
Hospital in Baghdad as head nurse. On May 1, 1952, Miss
Bolomey began her work at your hospital. On July 30, 1952
she received your letter stipulating the end of the engagement for
July 31, 1952. -
At the beginning of her arrival in Baghdad, the Director Dr. So-
stman and Mr. Salman Cohen, who was then administrator, submitted
a contract to her in the presence of Mr. J.-P. Jéquier, Chargé d'Affai-
res of Switzerland in Iraq, and Dr. Joseph Kattan. This contract was
translated from Arabic into French by Dr. Joseph Kattan. Under
the pretext of typing it on the typewriter, this translation of the
contract was taken back. Both contracting parties agreed on
all clauses and from that day Miss Bolomey considered herself
bound by contract to the hospital just as she considered
that the hospital was also bound by this same contract to her;
this particularly after the expiration of the planned trial period
of two months.
This contract provided that in the event of a breach without major
cause, the party withdrawing had to pay the other the sum
of ID. 100.--- (one hundred Iraqi dinars). -
Another clause settled the question of vacations and
stipulated one month of paid vacation for Miss Bolomey for one
year of work. In the concrete case, Miss Bolomey is entitled to one
week of vacation for the three months completed, i.e., ID. 12.500
(twelve and a half Iraqi dinars).-
The Director Dr. Sostman asked Miss Bolomey in his
letters of engagement in March 1952 to hold herself at
disposal as soon as possible. These arrangements on your part
obliged her to break her engagement in Switzerland and she was preparing to
leave. The departure did not take place within the scheduled time because the
authorization from the Ministry of Health delayed her arrival for a period
./.
Legation of Switzerland Baghdad
- 2 -
of two months. Under these circumstances Miss Bolomey has suffered a
loss of salary. In view of this fact, in view of the costs she has borne
for this travel and considering the short period she
was given to spend in your service Miss Bolomey claims
the sum of ID. 40.⟦line⟧ (forty Iraqi dinars) which is cer-
tainly justifiable and legitimate. Because of this short period
of only three months her net salary only amounts to
ID. 120.⟦line⟧ (after deduction of 30 dinars tax). -
According to your Director Jacoob Issa Abdulla who
moreover like Dr. Joseph Kattan recognized the justifi-
cation of Miss Bolomey's request, this letter will be pre-
sented Friday, August 15, 1952, at the meeting of your Lay Coun-
cil. I very much hope that the matter can be settled amicably
and I will not fail to believe that you will be the good interpreter
of this cause to the Gentlemen members of the committee.
Please accept, Mr. President, the assurance
of my high consideration.

Greetings,
In view of the financial crisis currently being experienced by the hospital, which required a reduction in staff
to an extent that enables the hospital to continue performing its humanitarian services in its current state, the Lay Council
has therefore been forced to terminate your services at the hospital as Head Nurse as of 31 / 7 / 952
afternoon. At the time this decision was taken, we thank you for the services you provided during this short period
in which you stayed, wishing you success and prosperity. The Lay Council has decided to pay your travel expenses directly to Switzerland.
Please accept our highest respects.

The hospital management is notified that
the decisions taken are based on
our subsequent letter
Greetings and respect.
Further to my previous letters and according to your order communicated to me via the Council Secretary
Mr. Shaul Moussa.
I met with Dr. Gurji Rabie yesterday evening from 8:30 until
ten o'clock at night to deliberate on hospital matters, and he agreed with me on all matters that
concern the hospital and has become very convinced of the work of this charitable institution
and agreed to take the following measures quickly.
Dr. Gurji Rabie stated that the head nurse, Miss Nelly Bloumi,
is not fit to be (head) from all aspects, neither in terms of management nor in terms of monitoring
medical matters required of her as head nurse, in addition to the rumors and facts that
you know outside the hospital which have been proven, and he supported my previous report that I submitted
to your Excellency earlier regarding the subject. Accordingly, he informed me that she is not fit even to be just a nurse,
and he prefers an Iraqi nurse over her. Therefore, he recommended the High Council to take
an urgent decision to terminate her services at the end of the current month and give her travel expenses
to enable her to return to her place.
As for Dr. Salman Mashal, he supported the decision of doctors Dr.
Balayan, Dr. Mills, Dr. Nuka, and Dr. Susan's oral recommendation submitted by him
to your High Council at the time, and said that this doctor is not fit to be a resident doctor
in the hospital nor is he fit to be a regular doctor, and that he is incompetent. Furthermore, he
is immature and his knowledge is very limited. Since the processing of Dr. Khedhouri Nassim is nearly complete,
he recommends that upon the appointment of Dr. Khedhouri Nassim, to dispense with the services of Dr. Salman
Mashal because the hospital cannot be handed over to this doctor. In the event that Dr.
Khedhouri Nassim is unable to work, other measures will be taken to find another doctor
among them instead of Dr. Salman Mashal. Therefore, I request the issuance of two decisions regarding dispensing
with the services of the (head) nurse and notifying the hospital of that so her separation is completed at the end of
the current month. Please accept my highest respect.

After greetings.
Reference to your letter numbered C/6/87/52 and dated 17/6/952, in which
you requested me to study the terms of employment for the nurse Nelly Belloumi and to submit a report to the High Council for approval
of it. I would like to reply to your Excellency as follows:
The employment of this nurse at a salary of 50/- Dinars per month is very expensive, to which is added
free housing ⟦...⟧
⟦illegible⟧ and living expenses, and thus her salary becomes approximately -/100 Dinars per month. I see
that the hospital is not able to bear 1200 Dinars annually for the sake of employing this nurse.
This is from one side, and from the other side, the aforementioned person does not master the English language well enough
to enable her to communicate with the patients and read their charts which are written in English and note the medications
given to the patient.

His Excellency, the respected President of the Lay Council
After greetings and respect,
I was notified by your letter numbered J/52/934 and dated 20 ⟦6⟧ 52, in which you informed me
of your high council's decision to allocate monthly allowances in exchange for my performing the tasks entrusted to me
for the administration of hospital affairs, and I thank you very much for appreciating my efforts and I would like to inform Your Excellency
of the state the hospital was in previously and the chaos that had overtaken it
when I received it and the efforts made by me to restore the situation to what it was previously.
During the period of my appointment at the hospital, I organized its administration and opened the necessary records
and inventoried its assets of furniture and other things, and you know my working hours at the hospital were from
five in the afternoon until 9:30 in the evening, and there is no doubt that you appreciate the work I have done
and am still performing until now and the effective efforts required for this, and since Mr.
Naeem Zubaida has resigned and your high council decided to appoint me as the sole administrator on 6/13/1952
as stated in your letter numbered 52/866 and dated 6/17/1952, I request your kindness
to present the case to the high council and amend its decision regarding granting me the allowances starting from
the date of your letter notified to me and mentioned above.
This, and I hope to take this matter into consideration and not wrong my heirs and to amend the mentioned decision.
This, and please accept my highest respect.
Sincere,
Member of the Lay Council
Delegated
for the administration of hospital affairs.
