Court orders govt doctor to pay BD19,000 for stealing medicines

The High Appeals Court has ordered a Bahraini medical doctor to pay BD19,000 for medicines she had stolen from a public pharmacy. This came after the Public Prosecution appealed the High Criminal Court’s ruling which held her guilty and sentenced her to one year behind bars, but without ordering her to settle the value of the medicines she stole.

According to court files, the defendant, aged 44, was convicted of prescribing medicines from a public pharmacy in bad faith. She was earlier sentenced to one year in prison, but her punishment was replaced with social service.
