The discussion you are referring to (http://www.ask.or.tz/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1874&start=45) quotes Bibi Fatema saying that what is best for a woman is that she does not see men and men do not see her. So it is not 'some people who are against women leaving the house and working' like you said, rather its Bibi Fatema clearly setting a standard for women.
As we know from our discussion her advice has not been pondered upon let alone implemented by majority of the Muslim society.
For hospitals however, luckily Ebrahim Haji employs a lot of non-muslim staff. So female staff are not limited to muslims alone. This solves the contradiction that you seem to be indicating.
The truth of the matter is muslim females are working in those positions elsewhere anyway. We will not have to drag them out of their homes to avail this service. So why does Ebrahim Haji not have this service?

If they had things their way, all nurses, radiologists, gynecologists, surgeons, technicians, etc, at all hospitals would be male since in their opinion women belong at home. Booyah!
