The Health Affairs department in Riyadh is investigating an Indian doctor following numerous complaints from patients and staff at Al-Aflaj Hospital concerning his competency and professional conduct. The neurologist, according to Al-Watan Arabic daily, faces accusations of malpractice leading to deaths, leaving some patients in a state of paralysis, ignoring orders, and writing false reports diagnosing patients as brain dead. According to the newspaper the complaints and reports provided by staff and patients to the hospital director also cite behavioral issues such as insulting Islam, walking semi-naked around residence premises in front of patients and women, being present at the hospital late at night without professional pretext, maltreating patients, creating division among staff members and repeatedly threatening female nurses. Al-Aflaj Hospital director, Abdullah Al-Haidar, told Al-Watan that the case had been passed on to Health Affairs in Riyadh, the body responsible for taking action in such cases.
