A former patient of Yaser Jabbar has spoken to the BBC about his experience with the limb reconstruction surgeon when he was just six years old.
“We saw some mistakes on my leg and we realised something happened wrong”, 12-year-old Vivaan Sharma said.
An investigation, published by London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) into Jabbar, found widespread evidence of unacceptable practice in the botched operations he carried out.
Jabbar worked at the hospital between 2017 and 2022, providing care to 789 children – 94 of them came to harm, GOSH’s report concluded.
“We had to have even more surgeries and more surgeries… this is stuck for life, I’ve got so many scars on my leg”, Sharma shared.
