In May 2021, a Dhaka court ordered an investigation into allegations of negligence against three doctors, including Mamun Al Mahtab, leading to the death of another physician, Toufiq Enam. Physiotherapist Aktaruzzaman Mia filed a case with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court regarding the death of his son, Enam, on 30 May while undergoing treatment at BRB Hospital. Mahtab, a gastroenterologist at Labaid Hospital, was one of the three accused doctors. According to the allegations, Mahtab conducted an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure on Enam after he developed complications following a surgery at Islami Bank Hospital. Mahtab admitted to treating Enam for hepatitis B and performing the ERCP with the patient's consent to avoid further surgery's high costs and risks. However, Enam's condition deteriorated, and he was transferred to BRB Hospital, where he passed away during an operation. Mahtab denied any negligence, claiming he was unaware of Enam's pre-existing conditions.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Three doctors charged with negligence in the death of another physician |url=https://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/three-doctors-charged-with-negligence-in-the-death-of-another-physician |access-date=2024-02-22 |work=bdnews24.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Case filed against three doctors over physician's death |url=https://www.newagebd.net/article/141349/case-filed-against-three-doctors-over-physicians-death |access-date=2024-02-22 |work=New Age |language=en}}</ref>

Mamun Al Mahtab (nickname: Shwapnil; born 22 August 1970) is a Bangladeshi hepatologist. With 290 publications in national and international peer-reviewed journals to his credit, Mahtab works as the head, Division of Interventional Hepatology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).

Education

Mahtab graduated from Mymensingh Medical College in 1995.

He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London, the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, the Indian College of Physicians and the American College of Gastroenterology.

Career

Mahtab was jointly awarded the 'Premio Nacional' from the Cuban Academy of Sciences for the discovery of NASVAC in 2019. He organizes awareness-raising programs on liver diseases across the country in addition to inventing the NASVAC drug aiming to offer an effective solution to Hepatitis B at an affordable price for mass people in Bangladesh.

Mahtab is the chief researcher, and investigator for the GBPD060 clinical study of the Bangladesh-developed SARS-CoV-2 mRNA candidate. He is also the lead researcher on NASVAC's Phase I/II and III clinical studies.

Mahtab is the principal investigator of the phase I/II and III clinical trials of NASVAC, a new generic for chronic hepatitis B, which is already registered in Bangladesh, Cuba, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Belarus and Angola. It is the first drug to be developed and registered in Bangladesh. NASVAC is also the 'first novel molecule' to be registered by the Directorate General of Drug Administration of the Bangladesh government.

Mahtab is currently working as the head, Division of Interventional Hepatology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).

He is currently associated with Anwer Khan Modern Hospital Limited, Dhaka and Labaid Specialized Hospital, Dhanmondi. He also serves at Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Hospital as a specialist hepatologist and gastroenterologist and at Labaid Specialized Hospital, Dhanmondi as a liver and liver cancer specialist and interventional endoscopist divisional head.

Lawsuits

He has been subject to accusations and lawsuits of medical malpractice and negligence that led to patients' deaths.

In May 2021, a Dhaka court ordered an investigation into allegations of negligence against three doctors, including Mamun Al Mahtab, leading to the death of another physician, Toufiq Enam. Physiotherapist Aktaruzzaman Mia filed a case with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court regarding the death of his son, Enam, on 30 May while undergoing treatment at BRB Hospital. Mahtab, a gastroenterologist at Labaid Hospital, was one of the three accused doctors. According to the allegations, Mahtab conducted an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure on Enam after he developed complications following a surgery at Islami Bank Hospital. Mahtab admitted to treating Enam for hepatitis B and performing the ERCP with the patient's consent to avoid further surgery's high costs and risks. However, Enam's condition deteriorated, and he was transferred to BRB Hospital, where he passed away during an operation. Mahtab denied any negligence, claiming he was unaware of Enam's pre-existing conditions.
