Former GOSH surgeon harmed 100 children: investigation in London.

According to ТСН: In the United Kingdom, former surgeon of the children's hospital in London, Yaser Jabbar, is suspected of causing injuries to nearly a hundred children during operations on their lower limbs.

This information is contained in a report released at the initiative of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. According to data, Jabbar worked at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH) from 2017 to 2023. Under his medical supervision, 789 patients were treated, including children as young as four months old. As a result of surgical errors, around 85-100 children sustained injuries of varying severity. Thirty-two patients suffered extremely serious harm, leading to lifelong disability.

Methods of intervention and consequences

An independent expert group confirmed that the surgeon used intervention methods that resulted in serious consequences: amputations, leg length discrepancies of up to 20 cm, the pathology of 'hanging foot', and irreversible damage to nerve endings. Many children have been diagnosed with chronic pain syndrome and physical deformities.

Behavior and further activities

The investigative materials also point to Jabbar's inappropriate behavior towards colleagues, which created challenging working conditions in the hospital. After a long creative break, he left GOSH in 2023 and moved to Dubai, where he continued to practice until information about his past became public knowledge.

Reactions from families of the victims

The families of the victims express disappointment in the work of the hospital administration, claiming that a culture of silence may have concealed the actual circumstances of the incidents. Officially, the GOSH administration apologized and promised to provide each family with a personalized treatment report for their child by the end of January 2026.

Recall that earlier we wrote about a plastic surgeon who 'cut alive' his patients and photographed them for social media.

This situation has raised serious concern among the medical community and parents who hope for justice for the affected children. It is crucial that such cases do not recur, and that monitoring systems for medical practices are strengthened to protect patients.
