LONDON: A Nepali origin gynaecologist who was barred from practising in Britain due to a series of botched operations is reported to have fled to India.
Prem Kumar Chhetri, who was based in Nuneaton in Warwickshire, allegedly committed blunders during several operations and was eventually barred by the General Medical Council (GMC) from practising in 2007.
He later tried to find work in neighbouring Ireland. Short-sighted with cataracts, Chhetri was the subject of inquiries during 2006 and 2007 while working in the Midlands.
The GMC found a list of several problems with his work, including packing a women's rectum instead of vagina to stop bleeding.
In another case, after performing a Caesarean-section on a patient, he damaged her bladder and another doctor had to complete the surgery and repair the damage.
Chhetri's neighbour in Nuneaton told the local media that he had moved to India from Ireland where he registered with the Irish Medical Council but did not find work.
