Less than four months after taking up the job as director of medical services at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH), Ghulam Rasooi Mufti has quit.
Mufti, a consultant urological cancer surgeon, took up duties on July 11. His resignation was announced by memo on Monday by the hospital’s chief executive officer Dr Dexter James to the QEH’s executive directors and heads of departments.
In that note James announced that Dr Delores Lewis would act as director of medical services until further notice. She previously acted in the position for nearly two years after Dr Brian Charles vacated the post in August 2008.
Asked what were the implications of Mufti’s departure, James told the DAILY?NATION: “We will have to review other options to ensure progress of our medical services.”
