Regulator Apologizes for Mistreatment of LGBTQ+ Doctors

Regulator sorry for past disciplining of gay doctors

The Medical Regulatory Authority has issued an official apology for past instances of discriminating against gay doctors. In a statement released today, the authority acknowledged that in the past, some doctors were unfairly targeted and disciplined solely based on their sexual orientation.

The authority’s president, Dr. Jane Smith, stated that they are committed to creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for all healthcare professionals, regardless of their sexual orientation. “We deeply regret the harm and pain caused by our previous actions and are working towards ensuring that all doctors are treated fairly and without discrimination,” she said.

This apology comes after an investigation revealed that several doctors had been disciplined or had their licenses revoked solely because of their sexual orientation. The authority has since vowed to review all past cases and take appropriate measures to rectify any injustices that may have occurred.

Dr. Smith also urged any doctors who feel they have been unfairly treated in the past due to their sexual orientation to come forward and speak up. “We want to make sure that all doctors feel supported and included in the medical profession, regardless of who they are or who they love,” she said.

It is hoped that this apology and commitment to change will mark a new chapter in the medical profession, where all healthcare professionals are treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their sexual orientation.
