Dr. Yaser Jabbar, a former Great Ormond Street surgeon, is under investigation for allegedly causing harm to young patients. The doctor is still practicing in Dubai, while families demand answers.
Bollywood Fever: A former Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) surgeon accused of harming young patients is now practicing in Dubai. Dr. Yaser Jabbar, who describes himself as an “expert in limb reconstruction,” is under investigation by the London hospital after several of his young patients were allegedly left with life-changing injuries and deformities.
The hospital is reviewing 721 cases involving children treated by Dr. Jabbar, with 39 cases already examined.
Of these, 15 patients were found to have suffered no harm, while nine experienced “low to moderate harm.”
Unfortunately, 13 patients were identified as having sustained “severe harm,” which could result in lifelong injuries.
One child reportedly underwent an avoidable amputation, according to a Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) review. Some children also developed leg length discrepancies, requiring years of additional treatment.

After leaving GOSH, Dr. Jabbar relocated to the United Arab Emirates, where he continues to operate on children at Clemenceau Medical Center and Orthocure, a specialist orthopedics hospital.
His ongoing practice has sparked concern, particularly among families of former patients who allege that their children endured unnecessary surgeries and improper care.
One parent, whose six-year-old underwent limb reconstruction under Dr. Jabbar’s care, expressed frustration, claiming the procedure caused their child “terrible pain.”

The father described how his child’s leg was misaligned post-surgery, with the bone visibly out of place. Despite raising these concerns, Dr. Jabbar reportedly dismissed them.
Caroline Murgatroyd, a solicitor representing some of the affected families, described the findings of the RCS review as “shocking.”
The review highlights concerning patterns in Dr. Jabbar’s assessments, clinical decision-making, and communication with families.
According to Murgatroyd, some children underwent procedures with no clear medical benefit and experienced complications that could have been avoided.
The hospital has contacted all families involved and has apologized for the distress caused. GOSH has also committed to learning from the investigation and is acting on the RCS’s recommendations.
The review, which is expected to take 18 months, aims to ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future.
A GOSH spokesperson said, “We accept the findings in full and are taking steps to act on all its recommendations.
We have contacted all patients of the surgeon, and a group of independent experts from other pediatric hospitals are reviewing the care of all the patients of this surgeon. We are incredibly sorry for the worry and uncertainty this review may cause.”
The hospital emphasized its commitment to transparency and patient safety, urging staff to report concerns through established channels. Dr. Jabbar and Clemenceau Medical Center in Dubai have not commented on the investigation.
