FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – A gastroenterologist has been suspended from medical practice for three years following his conviction on four counts of indecent assault against a patient.
The Nicosia District Court sentenced the doctor to four months in prison. His appeal was rejected, clearing the way for disciplinary action by the medical association. The physician ultimately admitted to the charges.
