Doctor who disclosed Kuami Eugene’s health details on social media suspended – report
Dr. Amina Haroun, a medical practitioner, has reportedly faced suspension from her duties for three months following her unauthorized disclosure of musician Kuami Eugene’s health status.
The incident is said to have occurred at the University of Ghana Hospital where the artist was receiving treatment after being involved in a car accident.
Dr. Haroun’s suspension came after she is said to have posted on social media regarding Kuami Eugene’s condition, which sparked widespread backlash.
In her post, she revealed that the musician was hospitalized and urged followers to pray for him, violating patient confidentiality protocols in the process.
Dr. Amina Haroun, who was presumably working at the medical facility where Kuami Eugene was being treated, has since expressed remorse for her actions and issued an apology.
“I am writing to express my sincere apology for the ‘violation of code of ethics’ I made on [Monday 18th March 2024]. I am aware that my actions not only caused inconvenience but also impacted the team’s overall performance. I take full responsibility for my actions and understand the seriousness of the matter.
“I am highly regretful of the inconveniences caused to the Patient due to my violation of our ‘Code Of Ethics’. Mistakes are made for lessons to be learned, henceforth, will not repeat such mistakes in the future, and am trying my best to solve this as soon as possible,” she wrote.
“I accept the consequences of both my license being suspended for Three months, and will gladly serve my punishment by staying away from any Hospital facility unless been called to.
“Sorry, there really is no excuse for what I did. I promise I didn’t have any bad intentions and can only apologise. This is completely and totally my fault. I feel horrible and never meant to upset anyone, please accept my most sincere apology,” she stated in an apology letter.
