Fact-Check: Viral message purportedly written by Nurse in Germany against Muslim migrants is fake
New Delhi: In recent days, a message has gained traction on various social media platforms, particularly on WhatsApp, purportedly authored by a nurse in Germany. The message describes a dire and unsustainable medical situation in German hospitals, attributing the challenges to an overwhelming number of Muslim migrants.
The content of the message has sparked concern and, in some instances, is fuelling negative sentiments towards migrants, particularly those of the Muslim faith.
Content of the Message:
The message in question claims to offer a firsthand account of a nurse's experiences in German hospitals amid an influx of migrants. Key points include:
- Hospitals purportedly overwhelmed and unable to handle the volume of migrant medical emergencies.
- Allegations of Muslims refusing treatment from female medical staff.
- Reports of escalating tensions between hospital staff and migrants, leading to the deployment of police and K-9 units.
- Claims that many migrants carry diseases such as AIDS, syphilis, open TB, and other exotic conditions not commonly treated in Europe.
- Descriptions of chaotic scenes in hospitals, including instances of abandoned children, with migrants allegedly expressing a refusal to pay for prescribed medications.
- Accusations that local press is forbidden from reporting on these incidents.
Fact-Check Results:
After a thorough investigation, our fact-check team found that the message is false, and its claims are not substantiated by credible evidence. Several aspects of the message raise red flags, including its generalization of an entire group of people and the absence of specific details such as names, dates, or locations. The lack of verifiable information suggests that the message may be a fabrication or an exaggerated account.
One of the telltale signs of misinformation is the lack of consistency in the message's details. Different versions of the same message have circulated with varying specifics, further undermining its credibility. The sensationalized nature of the claims, coupled with the absence of corroborating evidence, suggests that the message may be a fabrication or an exaggerated account designed to provoke emotional responses.
Another aspect of our fact-check investigation is the discovery that versions of this message have been circulating on social media since at least 2015. This indicates a sustained effort to disseminate misinformation over an extended period. Various adaptations of the same message have been identified.
The persistence of this false narrative over several years suggests a deliberate attempt to manipulate public opinion and foster negative attitudes towards migrants, specifically those from Muslim backgrounds.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the claims made in the message circulating on social media regarding the medical situation in Germany are baseless and false. The lack of verifiable information, coupled with inconsistencies in the narrative, points to a deliberate attempt to spread misinformation and promote negative stereotypes about migrants, particularly those of the Muslim faith.

Jharkhand Education Minister Ramdas Soren passes away at 62
Ranchi, Aug 15 (PTI): Jharkhand Education Minister Ramdas Soren died on Friday, JMM national spokesperson Kunal Sarangi said.
He was 62.
Soren was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Delhi, where he was admitted on August 2.
"State Education Minister Ramdas Soren, who was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Delhi, is no more," Sarangi told PTI.
Soren's condition was critical and he was on life support, Sarangi said.
The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader was airlifted to the hospital in the national capital from Jamshedpur after he fell in the bathroom of his residence on August 2.
A multidisciplinary team of senior specialists was closely monitoring his condition and providing intensive medical care.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren condoled his death.
Hemant Soren, in a post on X, wrote, "Ramdas Da (brother) should not have left us like this. Last greetings to Dada..."
Ramdas Soren, born in Ghorabandha village in East Singhbhum district on January 1, 1963, began his political journey as the gram pradhan of the Ghorabanda panchayat, eventually rising to become one of the most influential ministers in the Hemant Soren-led cabinet.
He won the Ghatshila assembly seat for the third time in 2024 by defeating BJP's Babulal Soren, son of former chief minister Champai Soren.
