The Medical Council of Maldives
announced on Thursday the documents and certificates of qualification
submitted by Israeli eye surgeons were forged.
Eye from Zion, a voluntary organisation
from Israel was established in 2007 by Israeli businessman Nati Marcus.
The Islamic NGO’s in Maldives voiced criticisms and raised concern about
the medical team of doctors representing Eye from Zion visiting this
country under the banner of giving free medical services from 9-14
December 2010.
Mohamed Iyas, Medical Council media
coordinator has revealed to the press saying the team of Israeli doctors
has failed to submit all the necessary documents required to obtain the
licence. He said the few documents submitted to the health authority
were found to have been forged.
He added that Medical Council has decided not to give permission for the Israeli medical team to practise in Maldives.
“We can only issue the licence according
to the rules and regulations,” Iyas said. “We cannot give permission to
anyone unless valid certificates are submitted. We are checking the
authenticity of the documents. If they submit documents meeting our
standards, we may issue the licence.”
The appointments to consult the eye
surgeons were cancelled at the last moment on Thursday, while dozens of
patients were lining to register.
Media reports say that over 700 patients got registered for eye treatment.
