The Medical Council of Guyana has suspended a doctor from practicing following the start of disciplinary proceedings based on complaints of negligence by the families of two of his patients who died.
“The General Public is hereby informed that the licence to practice medicine and surgery of Dr. Abel Fernandez Ciria REG, #2591 is currently suspended pending the hearing and determination of disciplinary proceedings. As such Dr Abel Fernandez Ciria is not licensed to practice medicine and surgery until that suspension is lifted,” the Council announced in a notice that was recently published in the daily newspapers.
Chairman of the Medical Council Dr Navindranath Rambarran told Stabroek News that the suspension of Dr. Ciria, a Cuban national, was due to complaints of negligence and/or malpractice by relatives of the deceased patients, which resulted in disciplinary proceedings.
