A Regina doctor is taking the Saskatchewan Health Authority to court, accusing the organization and some of its employees of intimidation, breach of contract, conspiracy and defamation.

Dr. Amos Akinbiyi said he believes there has been a retaliation campaign against him motivated by racism.

"The treatment that I've had with the SHA only made me realize that I don't belong," Akinbiyi said.

The allegations in his lawsuit have not been tested in court.

Originally from Nigeria, Akinbiyi was educated and trained in England and Scotland.

He has worked in England, Saudi Arabia, and Newfoundland and Labrador as an obstetrician gynecologist, or ob-gyn, and began working in Saskatchewan in 1996.

Between 1996 and 2021, Akinbiyi trained medical residents to become specialists like him. He said he was happy in the province until 2017.

That's when Akinbiyi says he was forced to save his daughter's life when she began coding, or experiencing a medical emergency, as she gave birth.

Doctors are not supposed to provide medical services to their family members. According to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan's code of ethics, it is only allowed in emergency situations and when no other physicians are available.

Akinbiyi said other medical professionals were available and on-call when was called to his daughter's bedside.

His lawsuit also states that his actions were a violation of a cultural taboo in Nigeria against a parent viewing their child's exposed body.

"They called me to come and resuscitate my own daughter, and I told them not to [call me]. So what happened was that two hours after she coded again, guess who they called? They called me to come and resuscitate," Akinbiyi said.

Akinbiyi said that after the incident, as he was upset about performing the life-saving procedure, he was told to go home.

"How could I go home? My daughter is in code blue. I mean, that's between life and death," Akinbiyi said.

He filed complaints against the workers at the Regina General Hospital's obstetrics unit and supported his daughter as she went public with her concerns.

Akinbiyi alleges his actions affected his standing with the health authority, and that other officials retaliated against him by filing complaints with the health authority and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan.

He said the complaints, which include unprofessional conduct, have been without merit.

Two charges filed with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan have been resolved with an undertaking, where Akinbiyi agreed to undergo education.

The charges were not admitted to or proven, according to the college's disciplinary records. One charge of unprofessional conduct remains pending.

The complaints with the Saskatchewan Health Authority remain unresolved.

Akinbiyi is now suing the health authority and various staff members at the obstetrics unit. It has been an expensive and lengthy process, but Akinbiyi said he's motivated by more than just an effort to clear his name.

"This is not the first time SHA will be doing this to some ethnic doctors, and I feel I'm committed to pursuing this to a conclusive end despite all the financial involvement, despite all the exhaustion, because this is a task for generations to come, not just only for me," Akinbiyi said.

The health authority said in a statement that it will not comment on legal matters before the court, but is committed to delivering high-quality health care across Saskatchewan.

"We are dedicated to maintaining a collegial and collaborative workplace that provides a healthy and positive environment," the health authority wrote in a statement.

In court on Friday, the Saskatchewan Health Authority's lawyers moved to strike its employees from the lawsuit, saying they were acting in their official capacity as health workers. The health authority also moved to strike claims it argued were deficient.

Justice Andrew Davis reserved his decision.
Although Akinbiyi is the only doctor taking part in his lawsuit, he said he is not the only one who has been discriminated against at Regina General Hospital.

The province has launched a review of the workplace culture among doctors at hospitals in Regina after 11 doctors — all trained in Africa or East Asia — reported racism and discrimination from hospital leadership.

In November 2023, the doctors filed a complaint with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, alleging management gave sought-after teaching shifts exclusively to white doctors.

Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill provided few specifics when the province's review was announced, but confirmed there had been allegations of racism.

The review, set to be carried out by two "highly respected, experienced medical leaders" from outside Saskatchewan, is still underway, according to the Ministry of Health.

"That work is expected to be completed in the spring of 2025," the ministry said in a statement.

Amos Akinbiyi believes his treatment changed after that, leading to complaints against him. Akinbiyi says he’s fighting not just for himself, but for future generations of ethnic doctors facing similar challenges.

Nice one. This is the hell we go through in this country.

Watched the story on tiktok, he was called in and forced to perform a life saving surgery on his daughter even though there were other doctors around, that's really crazy. Wish him the best in his law suit.

Blacks are quick to condemn racism but actively engage in tribalism.

Hmm sasquatch e wan

Unfortunately na dem still Dey the court.

Why do I have a feeling it can happen in Lagos?
If MC Oluomo becomes governor

I will be here when kemi Badenoch receive her own fair share and woe betide her if she complain.

baba wan cashout

Did anyone actually read the story?

This happened to his own child during childbirth!

Being called to resuscitate my own child—not once, but twice—in a hospital where I have worked for many years is nothing short of diabolical. I would do the same and even more.

Lol

There is nothing like Racism. It should be simply called Discrimination.

And Yorubas are the worst in Discriminating against non-Yorubas. Let that old sick doctor go and eat shit.

Go to most Public and Private companies in and around Lagos State, and see how Yorubas discriminate highly against non-Yorubas, beginning with the Language. There is always a deliberate attempt by Yorubas in an official setting to gang up against non-Yorubas. That is pure Discrimination. It exists everywhere. Let that same old doctor go to Nigeria, and you will see him using the same mouth he is now using to claim Racism, to discriminate against those who are not from his Tribe.

Yorubas, stop discriminating. When you see people from other white countries, you suddenly know how to speak English. But when you are in the midst of your fellow Nigerians, who do not understand Yoruba language, you will no longer speak English language but switch to Yoruba language just to discriminate against others.

Racism my foot.

FEARLESS .

Ride on Pa AKIN.

Fact and it's quite unfortunate. It shocked me when I experienced this in the UK, 2023. A Yoruba lady advertised an apartment on our platform, I chatted her up to indicate an interest in the apartment. She asked for my name then I responded to her. The next message I got shocked me. Her response was sorry sir, we don't want Igbo person in the apartment. Firstly, I was amazed by her level of ignorance and also tribalism despite the fact that she's well exposed. I also responded to her that if the British deal with you with such mindset, you stand no chance of surviving here.

Funny enough, I'm from South South and my wife is from South West. Two of my elder sisters are married to Yoruba men so I sincerely find it hard to understand how tribe makes any difference.

Akimlnbiyi comeback to your country and vote in good ruler based on competence, not tribalism and religious affinity. Simple
