Suspended medic charged with falsifying records to blame midwife for stillborn death

Dr Malik's employment at Kerry University Hospital and Cavan General Hospital had previously been terminated

The doctor faced three allegations of professional misconduct in relation to his treatment of a patient in England five years ago.

A doctor who is suspended from practising in the Republic after misleading the Medical Council that there had been no problem with his work at two Irish hospitals has been charged with professional misconduct.

Dr Malik, a specialist doctor in obstetrics and gynaecology who previously worked at Kerry University Hospital and Cavan General Hospital, was the subject of a hearing of the council’s Fitness to Practise committee in Dublin today.
