The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) Disciplinary Tribunal has convicted a medical doctor, working with the Wuse District Hospital, Abuja, Dr Robert Osasikhu-Omoregbe for conducting himself infamously in professional respect when he offered in-hospital care to one Mrs Elizabeth Peter Ndueso (F) (now deceased) at his private hospital Lucia-Ells Hospital Bwari, Abuja, contrary to Rule 49.1c of the code of Medical Ethics in Nigeria.

Out of the five count charges brought against Dr Omoregbe, the tribunal found him guilty on four counts and convicted Dr Omorogbe on counts 1, 2, 4 and 5 and therefore, suspended from practice for a period of nine months.

The Tribunal also established that Dr Omoregbe, accepted to treat her condition even when it was clear that he had serious limitations in providing optimal care for her condition, in addition to the fact that he also displayed gross negligence when he undertook the procedure of Total Abdominal Hysterectomy on her under suboptimal conditions until she died on the operation table.

Prof. Waziri recalled that on March 21st, 2018, one Mrs Elizabeth Ojonyene Max-Uba, Secretary to the Council of Legal Education and Director of Administration, in a petition noted that the respondent doctor admitted late Mrs Ndueso as a patient in his Hospital, Lucia Wells Hospital, Bwari, Abuja on June 17th, 2017.
