After 20 years, hospital finds its anaesthetist holds fake certificate

A hospital in Saudi Arabia terminated an anaesthetist from work after discovering that he was working at the hospital with a fake certificate for 20 years.

This news went viral on social media and many users called on health authorities to keep the Indian anaesthetist in the country and investigate all the medical cases that he handled.

Ahmed, a Saudi, alleged that there are many who are working in GCC countries with fake certificates.

“We have heard many stories about engineers, experts and doctors who were caught for working with fake certificates. As an anaesthetist, it is putting lives of patients in danger. This is a serious crime. The hospital must refer him to legal authorities and punish him,” he added.

Fahad, another Saudi man, shared similar views and said that the hospital must start investigations.

The hospital must check all medical cases this person was involved in. It is important to give justice to patients and their families who may have may have been harmed.
