A disgraced doctor who wrongly diagnosed children with cancer in a bid to scare parents into seeking private treatment at a firm at which he was a boss has lost his appeal after being struck off.
Dr Mina Chowdhury’s fitness to practise was previously found to have been impaired after a tribunal ruled that he ‘created an unwarranted sense of concern’ by suggesting the youngsters undergo medical treatment at his private clinic in Glasgow.
At a further tribunal hearing, held in Manchester in July 2022, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) panel erased Chowdhury from the medical register and imposed an immediate order of suspension.
