Translation:
In the name of Allah, The Merciful, The Compassionate
To Prof. Dr.: Head of Egyptian Medical Syndicate of Egypt
To Prof. Dr.: Head of Professional Ethics Department, Egyptian Medical
Syndicate of Egypt
I am presenting this complaint to you to investigate it, against Dr.
Ahmed Monis, Professor of Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases, Ain
Shams University, who is a registered doctor in the syndicate records,
for the following:
1 - He announced that he was part of invention of a device that he
claimed can treat many viral diseases, and conducted media marketing
to the same device in published, visual, and radio media without
reference to of any scientific tools, and known scientific research
procedures in the invention of the device, which resulted in harming
the reputation of Egyptian physicians inside and outside Egypt.
2- He willfully harmed the health of millions of Egyptian patients,
physically and psychologically, through participation in marketing the
device, which resulted in a portion of patients quitting their current
treatment, waiting for this alleged treatment to be available.
I ask you to investigate the causes of this complaint, and apply the
most severe penalties according to the Professional Ethics Regulations
against him if found guilty,to make him an example for anyone thinking
of harming the reputation of Egyptian physicians, or harming the
health of Egyptian patients for personal gains.
With high and due respect,

and libel / defamation, concluding that:

under it "we will never have fears anymore, we will clean means we will clean" .. and giving the device the name "kofta device".. are defaming the device
and the professor.

spokesman of the team Dr. Ibrahim Abdel Atti said in the official
announcement:
"We will take AIDS from the patient, then made it a Kofta bar, thenFor more information on the words "kofta" in that context of the device invention, please follow these search results: "kofta device doctor".
