Cape Town gynae loses SCA appeal to restore hospital admission after suspension

Dr Ganes Anil Ramdhin, a specialist obstetrician and gynaecologist, lost his appeal before the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) to have his hospital admission privileges restored at Rondebosch Medical Centre (RMC). His privileges were terminated automatically due to a three-year suspension by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), stemming from charges of unprofessional conduct in 2020. During his suspension, RMC implemented new policies requiring peer reviews and proof of active HPCSA registration. Despite being allowed to resume supervised practice in June 2024, RMC denied reinstatement, citing reputational risks and lack of need for another gynaecologist. Dr Ramdhin filed a legal challenge, which was ultimately rejected by the SCA.
