Medical Council to be quizzed on Bahrain violations
The request was decided on yesterday after a presentation by Ceartas, Irish Lawyers for Human Rights, a non-profit organisation.
Gearóid Ó Cuinn, co-director of Ceartas, said there was a conflict between the council upholding the standards of the World Federation for Medical Education — which require facilities to be safe, appropriate and able to deliver on the core competencies — when those used by RCSI Bahrain “are not in an environment that lives up to Irish standards”.
