A Gold Coast obstetrician was caught with nine grams of ice, magic mushrooms, 27.5 ecstasy tablets and cannabis, it has been alleged. Ashraf Mohamed Hanafy, 57, appeared in Southport Magistrates Court for the first time this morning to face charges of possessing dangerous drugs, possessing utensils relating to drugs and failing to take reasonable care disposing of a syringe. Hanafy, who delivered multiple Gold Coast babies per week and is researching uterus transplants, was allegedly caught with the drugs after a raid on his Reedy Creek home on June 15, according to documents filed to the court. A police affidavit filed to the court alleges police raided Hanafy’s home after the 57-year-old tested positive to the drug ice during a roadside drug test. “During that search warrant, police located quantities of methylamphetamine (approximately 9 grams – over schedule), cannabis (approximately 136g), 27.5 MDMA tables and psilocybin (magic mushrooms – 8 grams),” the document said. Police allegedly then contacted the Queensland Health Ombudsman to report the matter. “Dr Hanafy is a single male who lives alone,” the document said. “He is also a professor for Bond University in the field of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. “He is also a doctor at the John Flynn Hospital where he has responsibility for delivering multiple babies per week.” The affidavit also alleges police had conducted the roadside test because they had received “intelligence information” that Hanafy was involved with ice. Hanafy was given bail in the watch-house on the condition he surrender his passport and not approach an international departure point. Hanafy’s lawyer Michael McMillan, of McMillan Criminal Lawyers, this morning attempted to have the doctor’s bail conditions changed so he could approach an airport. “He has lost his ability to work at John Flynn Hospital and will be excluded from the Bond teaching program,” Mr McMillan said. Hanafy is also fighting to keep his ability to remain registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. “His bigger fight is with AHPRA than in this court,” Mr McMillan said. Mr McMillan argued the loss of Hanafy’s ability to work for allegedly having the drug was far more severe than what he would get if convicted.
