Asif Ali’s registration cancelled

Melbourne: Australian authorities have cancelled the registration of Indian doctor Mohammed Asif Ali after Queensland Health decided last week to sack him for lying on his resume.

The medical board said on Wednesday that Dr. Ali’s registration was cancelled on the grounds that he lied to the Board by falsifying information in the resume provided in his application.

Board chairwoman Mary Cohn said the decision did not relate to his clinical competence or his qualifications. Dr. Ali was cleared last month of any links with the former terror suspect Mohammed Haneef.

If Dr. Ali were to return the Board would prosecute him for breaching the Medical Practitioners Registration Act 2001, she said.

Ms. Cohn said Dr. Ali had been advised of the decision on Wednesday, The Australian reported . — PTI
