Rashid Fareed Mahfouz practised medicine using the credentials of another registered doctor.
Rashid Fareed Mahfouz, 66, pleaded guilty to charges of fraud, forgery, contravention of the Health Professions Act, contravention of the Medicines and Related Substances Act and corruption earlier this month.
“It is reported that on February 15, 2023, the accused practised illegally as a doctor without being registered as prescribed by the Health Professions Act 56 of 1974. He issued sick notes and dispensed medication to unsuspecting patients, using the details of another doctor, who is a registered doctor. He was arrested by Philippi SAPS members at a medical practice on the mentioned date,” Vukubi said.
“During bail proceedings on March 8, 2023, the accused allegedly tried to persuade a court orderly at Phillipi Magistrate's Court to destroy the case docket and offered an amount of money. A corruption charge was consequently added, and the bail application was unsuccessful,” Vukubi said.
