The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has suspended a professional statement for a doctor after she was raised about her testimony. This reflects the Authority's interest in all what is being raised, as well as its concern for public health and safety.
Whether the health committee has been investigating the doctor for some time before raising the topic in Social Media, the statement said, or if it accelerated the decision after the doctor was exposed to a campaign on the social networking site «Twitter», it is not important to Absolutely, because the question that imposes itself strongly is: Are the procedures for the verification of medical scientific certificates of doctors applying to work in the State, whether in the Health Authority or the Ministry of Health, tribal or aftermath? In other words, are the examinations, certificates, examinations, certificates of validity and eligibility of the universities issued before the appointment of the doctor, or after the appointment and after practicing medicine, and then the authorities move to investigate the case of error, or the emergence of doubts about the defect or falsification of certificates or clinics permit? !
This procedure is supposed to be before the appointment, or before the authorization of any clinic, and this is certainly what the medical authorities are currently doing, because the opposite is a disaster, and it is undoubtedly hardened in such matters because the hardening here in the interest of society, so it is shocking to start It is even more shocking that the doctor herself has obtained two permits from both the Authority and the Ministry. At the same time, she is working as a general practitioner in a hospital affiliated to the Ministry of Health. A few years!
I do not make judgments here, and we do not want to pre-empt the decisions of the Commission of Inquiry, and we realize that it will end decisively, either the proof of the scientific certificates obtained by the doctor, or the existence of a defect that requires exclusion from work in the medical field, this is up to the specialists in the Commission, Their decisions will be correct, there is no room for complacency or courtesy in such cases, but we would like only if the investigation extends to include all procedures of appointment, audit and verification of scientific certificates of doctors, and to identify the gap that can run out of some unqualified doctors, this is the most important, and this is the most dangerous!
Going back to the Twitter campaign, what the young man who started the campaign did not difficult, but it is very important. He has followed the simple information about the university online, to discover the poor level of the university, as well as discovering a lot of clues confirming the existence of suspicion in the certificates of that university. I don't think that the subject deserved more than a few hours of research, which means that investigating anything at this time is not difficult at all, and the competent authorities can develop mechanisms to search and audit certificates, they are no longer limited, and what a young man did On its own, you can do more and more like committees with doctors and specialists , So that such a position can be completely eliminated, the Commission does not have to verify scientific certificates after issuing work permits again!
