A Reverend sister, Gina King, has publicly addressed criticism that trailed her birthday photoshoot after she appeared wearing medical scrubs in the pictures.
The photos, which she shared earlier, sparked debate among social media users who questioned her choice of attire.
Many commenters argued that the outfit was inappropriate for a consecrated Catholic sister, prompting widespread conversation online.
In a statement released on her Facebook page, Sister Gina clarified that the outfit was not a fashion statement but her standard professional uniform as a healthcare worker.
“The outfit I wore is called a medical scrub, and it is the standard uniform required for healthcare practitioners. As a consecrated person, my consecration does not stop me from carrying out my duties as a healthcare worker.” She wrote
She explained that scrubs must include trousers for practical and safety reasons within medical environments.
According to her, the clothing is essential for free movement, proper coverage, comfort, and safety when attending to patients.
Sister Gina further emphasized that religious sisters serve God in different fields, including education, administration, charity, and healthcare.
Her current calling, she said, involves serving through the medical profession, which requires her to dress appropriately.
She went on by urging critics and supporters alike to look beyond her attire, advising them to focus on the heart of service rather than the external attire.
