A Canada-based Ghanaian doctor, Dr.

Clarence Clottey, has been prohibited from conducting certain examinations on female patients following multiple sexual assault allegations.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) placed the restrictions on the 64-year-old Oakville-based doctor, banning him from examining any female patient's breast, pelvic, or rectal areas.

This ruling was made in response to earlier allegations of misconduct, including sexual assault charges dating back several years, toronto.citynews.ca reports.
