Health minister denies charges of grave misconduct
By Khalid Hasan and Waqar Gillani
LAHORE: Punjab Health Minister Dr Tahir Ali Javed, who was practicing in Nebraska before moving to Pakistan after winning an assembly seat from Narowal, is being held responsible here for being linked to the largest known Hepatitis C outbreak in the US. Dr Javed denied the charges against him. He has been formally accused by the State of Nebraska of what one official called "unprecedented negligence and misconduct". Dr Javedfaces scores of allegations in a petition for disciplinary action filed against him in July and announced by state health regulatory officials. Eighty of his affected patients have filed suits against the Pakistani doctor. Health investigators have linked poor infection-control practices at Dr Javed?s former cancer clinic in Fremont, Nebraska, to 99 cases of Hepatitis C diagnosed over the past two years. One patient has died. The petition, filed by a special assistant in the State Attorney General?s Office, outlines 12 reasons for discipline or revocation of Dr Javed?s Nebraska medical licence. Most of the counts allege that Dr Javed used poor infection-control practices at the clinic and abandoned the cancer patients in his care last summer. "The conduct in this petition is unprecedented in our memory," said Richard Nelson, the director of regulation and licensure for the Nebraska Health and Human ServicesSystem. According to the petition filed against Dr Javed, he was repeatedly informed ? as early as November 1999, months before the first known hepatitis-infected patient came to the clinic for treatment ? that his nurses were reusing syringes used to draw blood and saline. Although the practice put his patients at risk for blood-borne diseases, he allowed the practice to persist. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default. ... age=story_7-9-2003_pg7_16
