The High Criminal Court in Manama has recently adjourned the case of an Asian man accused of forging a university degree to obtain a dental license. The 51-year-old defendant is facing charges of manipulating the Ministry of Health’s registration and licensing office system between 2005 and 2022. The court has decided to postpone the hearing until July 15th to allow the defendant to appoint a lawyer and to bring him from prison for further proceedings.

The case came to light when the National Health Regulatory Authority (NHRA) received an email from a concerned individual of the same nationality as the defendant, questioning the authenticity of the defendant’s degree. An investigation was then initiated, and a company was hired to verify the validity of the degree. The results confirmed that the defendant’s degree was indeed forged, leading to suspicions about the legitimacy of his dental license.

Further investigations revealed that the defendant had submitted falsified documents to the NHRA back in 2006, based on which he was granted a dental license in 2007. He continued to renew the license until May 13th, 2022, when the forgery was eventually uncovered. The defendant confessed during the investigation, admitting that he had acquired the forged degree from a friend in their home country in 2004-2005 to meet the requirements for obtaining a dental license.

The defendant confessed that he needed a university degree to qualify for a dental license and resorted to falsifying information on the application form. He claimed to have a diploma in dental technology from a university and provided a copy of the forged document to support his claim. The Public Prosecution has confirmed that both the degree and the transcript submitted to the Ministry of Health were forged, leading to the issuance of the defendant’s dental license based on false information.

The court’s decision to adjourn the case until mid-July highlights the seriousness of the charges against the defendant. It is essential for individuals in professional fields such as dentistry to uphold the integrity of their qualifications and licenses, as any fraudulent activity can have severe consequences. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough verification processes to ensure the legitimacy of credentials presented for licensing purposes.

The Public Prosecution has rigorously pursued this case, emphasizing the gravity of forgery and manipulation of official documents in the healthcare sector. The NHRA’s prompt action in response to the initial concerns raised by a whistleblower demonstrates the commitment to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and transparency within the regulatory authority. Upholding the credibility of healthcare professionals is crucial in safeguarding public trust in the quality of services provided.

As the case unfolds, it is imperative for the defendant to have legal representation to navigate the complexities of the legal process and ensure fair treatment. The upcoming hearing on July 15th will shed further light on the details of the forgery scheme and the extent of the defendant’s actions to obtain and renew his dental license unlawfully. The outcome of this case will serve as a precedent in combatting fraudulent practices and upholding the standards of professionalism and ethics in the healthcare industry.
