Ex-UMMC radiology technician threatens to sue hospital over alleged SOP breaches
Nur Fauzia Abdul Razak, who is currently battling stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma, plans to take UMMC to court if an amicable settlement is not reached.
Nur Fauzia Abdul Razak, a former UMMC radiology technician, has threatened to sue the hospital over alleged SOP breaches. The 44-year-old, who is battling stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma, says she will file a negligence suit or initiate judicial discovery proceedings against the hospital if no discussions are held. Her lawyers, Wan Azmir Wan Majid and Sabrina Mohd, made the statement at a press conference.
In April, Fauzia claimed that three staff members suffered from cancer and four were suffering from thyroid-related diseases after the hospital installed a PET-CT machine. The UMMC denied these allegations, stating its PET-CT machine was operated according to strict security procedures and that staff members were required to wear personal dosimeters.
The health ministry cleared the hospital of any wrongdoing after an investigation. However, a coalition of civil society groups is urging Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to establish a royal commission of inquiry into the matter.
