Authorities in Lake Province ‌have intensified oversight of private medical facilities, ​resulting in the closure of two centers⁣ operating without proper licenses and staffed by unqualified personnel. The actions,carried out by the Consumer Protection Agency in collaboration with the Health Directorate’s Free Treatment Department,underscore a commitment to public health and patient safety.

Unqualified Individuals operating Medical Centers

Recent inspections in Damanhur revealed a‌ woman with only a high school diploma presenting herself as a dentist and performing dental procedures. ‌ Another facility specialized in ​dermatology and‌ cosmetic treatments was found to be​ managed by an individual lacking the necessary pharmaceutical licenses. Both cases represent serious violations of public health regulations.

Equipment ⁢Seized, Legal‌ Action Pending

All medical ‌devices and equipment used in the illicit operations were seized. Both facilities have been sealed, and the cases have been referred to the Public Prosecution ​for legal proceedings. This decisive action signals a zero-tolerance ‍policy towards unauthorized medical practice.
