A United Kingdom (UK) High Court has criticised the decision made by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal of the General Medical Council (MPT of the GMC) to suspend a Nigerian medical doctor, Ewere Onyekpe, who had been accused of sexually assaulting a female patient.
In a court document obtained by PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday, Justice Thomas Linden of the High Court of Justice King’s Bench Division Administrative Court cited deficiencies in the decision-making process.
Mr Linden pointed out that the case was fundamentally flawed because it failed to adequately consider the events between the doctor and the patient.
