BEIRUT: Health Minister Wael Abu Faour is seeking charges against two physicians accused of forging birth certificates, a ministry statement said Thursday.

The statement said Abu Faour asked the Mount Lebnon judiciary to investigate each case separately.

In one case, a birth certificate belonging to child Thomas Anthony David, approved at a mukhtar’s office in Rabieh last year, was faked by changing the identity of his mother from Rachelle R. to Marcelle Sh.

The physician accused of faking the certificate was identified as Fouad A., who claimed he signed the certificate “by mistake,” it added.
