Asim Kurjak

Dr. Asim Kurjak (born 1942 in Kotor Varoš, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a famous Bosnian doctor working at the University of Zagreb in Zagreb, Croatia. Kurjak is one of the most famous gynecologists in ex-Yugoslavia. He has published numerous books both in English and Bosnian.

Professor Kurjak has 246 citations in MEDLINE. He is the founder and current director of the Ian Donalds school of Ultrasound which has branches internationally. He is considered to be a world authority in Maternal-Fetal medicine.

Kurjak got into the focus of Croatian and Bosnian public regarding controversies surrounding the death of a patient in 2002, and for allegations of plagiarism of 1 book chapter in 2005 and 1 article published in 1974 in Acta Medica Iugoslavica. The plagiarism was identified by Iain Chalmers in the beginning of the 1990s. He contacted the editors of the journal as well as the University of Zagreb, which only has little effect. In 2006 Chalmers published an article in BMJ detailing the case.^[1]

Dr. Kurjak is about to retire in autumn 2007. Croatian newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija is speculating that his retirement is to serve the purpose of avoiding consequences for the plagiarism.

Dr. Kurjak, his wife Biserka Funduk-Kurjak, assistant Sanja Kupešić and Ernest Suchanek have been in 2007. officially charged for corruption and abusing eggs harvested from women on fertility treatment to impregnate other patients.
