Gynecologist Emile Daraï, accused of rape, is definitively dismissed from his post as head of department at – franceinfo

Professor Emile Daraï, head of the endometriosis center at Tenon hospital in Paris until October 8, is permanently dismissed from his post at the head of this service, while he is the target of at least six complaints for rape. This is one of the conclusions of the internal commission of inquiry of the Public Assistance-Hospitals of Paris (AP-HP) revealed Thursday, December 9 by franceinfo. The practitioner is the target of at least six rape complaints, including one denounced by a minor.

“The standardized, rapid, technical and unaffected nature of the consultation, sometimes brutal and without empathy, would not be appropriate”, writes the internal commission of inquiry at the AP-HP in the conclusion of its report. “The shortcomings noted on consents, pain, information, lack of empathy are the characteristics of what the Haute Autorité de santé describes as mistreatment or lack of good treatment.”

After 41 hearings carried out, the AP-HP internal commission of inquiry considers that “the obligation to inform patients, the relief of their pain, the respect of their wishes were not respected” and “the current situation is the result of individual dysfunctions but also collective and systemic.”

The AP-HP also decides to display a “charter of good practices” in all of its gynecology-obstetrics services, to provide a “information document” for each patient and “strengthen the efficiency of the processing of complaints relating to its medical practices”. Its pyramid organization is finally “called to evolve” because it can be, according to the AP-HP, “the source of malfunctions.”

Professor Emile Daraï is in particular the subject of an investigation for “rape by person having authority over a minor over 15 years” after the complaint of a young woman of 17 years. This investigation, initially entrusted to the brigade for the protection of minors, was transferred to the second regional division of the Paris judicial police. The practitioner is also the subject of a complaint for “rape in assembly”, as well as a complaint for “rape of a vulnerable person by person in authority”.
