Doctor Accused of Cancer Cure Fraud
28 Apr
Summary
- Doctor falsely claimed 90% success rate for cancer cures.
- Patients charged up to £15,000 for unproven treatments.
- Practitioner reused medical equipment, risking serious infection.
A medical tribunal has heard allegations against a doctor who reportedly claimed he could cure cancer with a 90% success rate. The doctor, who graduated from Cairo University in 1994, practiced in the UK from 2001 until his medical license was withdrawn in January 2015. Proceedings began on December 1, 2025, with further hearings scheduled.
The doctor allegedly charged patients, identified as Patient A and Patient B, fees ranging from £10,000 to £15,000. Treatments administered included intravenous vitamin C and garlic oil, which the tribunal found to be unevidenced-based for curing cancer. The doctor was also found to have reused intravenous bags, creating a risk of serious infection for patients.
While the doctor denied the allegations via email to the GMC, stating he "never said he can cure cancer," a flyer found at his address described him as a "qualified doctor" who left the NHS because "chemotherapy and radiotherapy did not work." The flyer promoted his treatments as having "over 90% cure rate in the most challenging illnesses eg cancers."
