4 Asian, Arab doctors charged for causing Emirati girl’s death in RAK

Four doctors in Ras Al Khaimah are facing charges of causing the death of an Emirati girl suffering from heart problems by failing to make the right diagnosis.

The four Arab and Asian doctors from two different hospitals in the northern emirate stood trial on Thursday but hearings were adjourned to another date.

Relatives of the girl have filed a suit against the doctors accusing them of failing to diagnose the girl’s illness properly, leading to her death after a heart surgery.

“The four doctors are facing charges in court that they have caused the death of the patient following a surgery,” the Arabic language daily Al Khaleej said.
