Gynaecologist Ahmed Loutfi Struck off

A former doctor who misdiagnosed an ectopic pregnancy and told a woman to “go home and try for another” has been struck off.

Gynaecologist Ahmed Loutfi was a locum at Liverpool Women’s Hospital. He can no longer practice in the UK because of the potentially life-threatening error he made in 2010.

Mr Loutfi’s conduct at hospitals in Manchester, Hull and Birmingham between 2012 and 2013 was also deemed grounds for his de-registration.

In Birmingham, he rotated a baby’s head to such an extent that he injured it.

The mother, known only as Patient A, had to have a fallopian tube removed during surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, during which an embryo begins to grow outside the womb. Mr Loutfi wrongly diagnosed her has having had a miscarriage and lost his registration to work in 2016 after a medical practitioners tribunal.

The issue arose when he saw the woman in April and May 2010. He told her she had had a miscarriage both times. Another doctor told her it could be an ectopic pregnancy. He denied her stronger pain killers. She was sent her home and told the woman to try to get pregnant again.

He attempted to get his registration back in 2022, but the tribunal has now banned him from ever again working as a doctor in the UK. Mr Loutfi still claimed to have treated the Liverpool mum correctly and blamed other Doctors for her care. Mr Loutfi said he should be restored to the medical register because he did not commit any clinical misconduct.

The tribunal rejected his application and indefinitely suspended his right to reapply for restoration.
