KUANTAN: The management of Hospital Kuala Lipis has filed a police report on an allegation that a pair of twin babies who had been receiving treatment at the facility for nine months was taken by an impostor posing as a doctor.
In a statement made yesterday, the Pahang Health Department said it takes the matter seriously and has since carried out a preliminary investigation.
“Investigations found that no twin babies, as alleged, had received treatment for nine months in the children’s ward of the hospital.
“The last time the mother in question received treatment at Hospital Kuala Lipis was in July 2024.
“Regarding the claim of a fraudulent doctor identified as Dr Amalina Husna who purportedly treated infants for a duration of nine months, the statement indicated that there is no record of such an individual having ever been employed at Hospital Kuala Lipis,” the statement said in a Bernama report.
It said the hospital’s top management lodged the report on Friday to prevent the spread of baseless claims, which could damage the credibility and integrity of both the hospital’s management and medical services, as well as the department in general.
On Friday, a Facebook post titled “Pair of Twin Babies Abducted by Fake Doctor at Hospital Kuala Lipis” went viral on social media, drawing various reactions from users.
