Kuami Eugene
Dr. Amina Haarun, a medical practitioner, has allegedly been suspended from her duties for three months following her unauthorised disclosure of musician Kuami Eugene’s health status.
The incident occurred at the University of Ghana Hospital, where the artiste was receiving treatment after a car accident.
The suspension of Dr. Amina Haarun came after she posted on social media regarding Kuami Eugene’s condition, which sparked backlash.
In her post, she revealed that the musician was hospitalised and urged followers to pray for him, violating patient confidentiality protocols in the process.
Dr. Amina Haarun, who was presumably working at the medical facility where Kuami Eugene was being treated, has 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, March 18, 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,” she wrote.
“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 I am trying my best to solve this as soon as possible,” she continued.
“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 being 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.
