Western Australia Medical Association
The Western Australia Medical Association (WAMA) is the medical trade association for medical doctors who practice medicine in the state of West Australia. The WAMA maintains an office at 14 Stirling Highway, Nedlands WA 6009.
Dr Mark Duncan-Smith, the president of the association, issued a warning to parents on 10 December 2021 regarding non-therapeutic child circumcision. Dr. Duncan-Smith said parents should only "follow through with the procedure if there is a valid medical reason."[1] Dr Duncan-Smith failed to point out that there are no valid medical indications for non-therapeutic circumcision of infant boys.
The warning followed a disastrous day (Tuesday, 7 December 2021) in Perth, WA in which a two-year-old boy died after a non-therapeutic circumcision and his eight-month old brother almost bled out due to hemorrhage following non-therapeutic circumcisions.[2]
