MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Medical Association (PMA) has suspended Dr. Hayden Kho Jr. for a year for “conduct offensive to the profession,” his lawyer, Lorna Kapunan, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer Thursday.
In an interview during the launching of White Ribbon Day – a campaign launched by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (Unifem) to prevent violence against women – Kapunan said she and Kho learned about the group’s decision on Wednesday.
“We were called to a hearing on September 2 by the PMA ethics committee to inform us of their decision to suspend my client’s membership for one year,” she later elaborated in a text message to the Inquirer.
Kapunan added, “My client respects the decision.”
This was echoed by Kho himself who said he would not contest PMA’s decision.
“I respect their decision … I’m happy with whatever is given to me. I’m actually ready for anything,” he said.
Kho was with Kapunan at the launching of the White Ribbon Day campaign. He even had a white ribbon pinned on his shirt.
“This is one way of saying that I support the fight on violence against women. Attorney Kapunan has been lecturing me and talking to me about things about women and women’s rights … I’m following her advice,” he told reporters.
One year? That is a slap on the wrist.
