As agitations against rise in rape incidents across the society increases, a heartbreaking story of a young woman who was violated by a medical doctor is causing serious outrage among members of the public.
This is one in many incidents which eventually fail to see the light of the day due to stigma or settlement between the accused and the victim’s family but this particular incident is already drawing attention of stakeholders against rape in the society.

It happened on March 29, 2020 in Phalombe, a district in the Southern region of Malawi. That day remains a traumatic day for Mrs. Elizabeth Charles, a 21-year-old woman who alleged that she was raped when she was about six months pregnant by a hospital employee at Nambazo Health Center in Phalombe, reports Times Malawi.

Malawi news visited Mrs. Charles, a mother of three little girls, and she narrated to them how the entire incident happened. She said she remembers the incident like it was yesterday when her innocent attempt to seek medical attention at the health facility brought shame and misery to her life.

“On this particular day I went to the clinic for my usual ante-natal checkup. I did everything as we usually do when we go to the hospital. In the process of routine checkup I entered one room for other checkups.

“The doctor asked me to lie down and I had to remove my underwear however, I then noticed the doctor undressed as well. When I asked him what he was doing he covered my mouth with his hands and pinned me down…. I tried to push him but I was not successful and before I knew it he had raped me,” she said.

An examining doctor is required by law to always have a chaperone around when examining the opposite gender.

Hopefully, the bad eggs in the field would be fished out and persecuted.

A police officer is required not to take bribe

Oh well, the system is dirty....all sectors. One by one, soon enough, they'd all be fished out.

I read somewhere in Nairaland where one idiot was saying that Doctors should examine their patients alone. A nurse especially of opposite gender to the doctor is always advisable. Just imagine if a female nurse was present, the dr won't even think of it.

Smh

This is absurd and backwards
