Monrovia-Liberian lawmakers have taken seize of the fake doctor scandal that rocked the nation when it was uncovered Mr.Peter Matthew George who caused deaths of injuries during medical operations was not who he claimed he was.
George had been operating without a verified degree for decades until he got finally exposed.
The House of Representatives on May 30, 2025 took seize of the matter intended to restore public trust.
It has instructed the Committee on Health to investigate the case of Mr. George.
The Liberia Medical and Dentist Council (LMDC) has already revoked his license in April following a sweeping credential audit.
He was once an official the Medical and Dental Association and served as Chief Medical Officer at a major private hospital.
An LMDC’s audit revealed that Mr. George presented an award verification letter that purported to confirm his MD and postgraduate credentials, both allegedly obtained in a time frame that global academic standards deem impossible.
Lawmakers have rightly called for greater accountability from the Ministry of Health, the Commission on Higher Education, and the LMDC itself.
