Hepatitis C-infected surgeon could be indicted for endangering patients
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The Department of Health in Great Britain is ruling soon about the fate of Mohammad Qamar Sarwar-Rana, who operated on patients despite the 2002 ban on infected doctors.
A surgeon who had Hepatitis C put his patients at risk by carrying out invasive operations despite it being against Department of Health rules, the General Medical Council has heard.
Mohammad Qamar Sarwar-Rana, of Kingsheath, Birmingham, is accused of serious professional misconduct over 18 procedures he either carried out or helped with, including circumcisions and a vasectomy, where his blood could have infected the patient, a hearing in London was told.
New guidelines issued by the government in August 2002 banned health workers with Hepatitis C from carrying out exposure prone procedures - operations where there is a risk that injury to the worker could result in their blood getting into the patient's open tissues.
