On 29 and 3l March 2026, The Advertiser and the Sunday Mail published articles about recent surgeries at the Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Hospital performed by Associate Professor Amal Abou-Hamden. <\/p>\n
Those articles wrongly suggested that the care provided by Associate Professor Abou-Hamden fell short of expected standards and caused harm to the relevant patients. <\/p>\n
Dr Abou-Hamden is co-operating fully with the review and intends to rely on independent expert medical reports which demonstrate she met the expected standard of care. <\/p>\n
We acknowledge that Dr Abou-Hamden is a well-respected neurosurgeon and professional in the medical field. <\/p>\n
The hospital\u2019s review has not been finalised, and no adverse findings have been made against Dr Abou-Hamden.<\/p>\n
We apologise to Dr Abou-Hamden for the distress and embarrassment caused by the publications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On 29 and 3l March 2026, The Advertiser and the Sunday Mail published articles about recent surgeries at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":827224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[376749,400377,400375,400372,4955,400359,400370,64,63,32140,502,42097,400364,400358,400366,134,400367,250487,99203,400369,248456,400374,33372,400365,376545,55903,400376,390670,400362,400373,381735,400363,400360,400378,400371,400361,380136,400368],"class_list":["post-827223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-s-hospital","tag-s-review","tag-29-and-3l","tag-a-well-respected-neurosurgeon","tag-articles","tag-associate-professor-abou-hamden","tag-associate-professor-amal","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-care","tag-children","tag-clarification","tag-dr-abou-hamden","tag-dr-abou-hamden-we","tag-dr-amal-abou-hamden","tag-entertainment","tag-expected-standards","tag-hamden","tag-harm","tag-independent-expert-medical-reports","tag-march-2026","tag-no-adverse-findings","tag-professional","tag-recent-surgeries","tag-relation","tag-short","tag-the-advertiser","tag-the-care","tag-the-distress-and-embarrassment","tag-the-expected-standard","tag-the-hospital","tag-the-medical-field","tag-the-publications","tag-the-relevant-patients","tag-the-review","tag-the-sunday-mail","tag-the-women","tag-those-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=827223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/827224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=827223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=827223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=827223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
