The CEO of a major private hospital in Abu Dhabi and a female doctor of the same hospital will stand trial for causing cerebral palsy to a female infant, said the Medical Licensing Committee at the Health Authority-Abu Dhabi (HAAD).
The CEO has been charged by the committee of knowingly allowing the doctor who is unlicensed and is on the ban list to deliver the baby at the hospital. A mistake by the doctor led to a permanent and irreversible brain damage to the baby.
The committee also put the CEO, who is also a speicalised doctor, on the ban list. He will also be subjected to assessment following his medical negligence. The hospital was told by the committee to correct any mistakes within a maximum period of three months.
