Ministry of Health suspends health practitioner's license for promoting unapproved practices
The Ministry of Health in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has taken firm regulatory action against a health practitioner who appeared in a video circulating on social media platforms. The Ministry immediately suspended his professional practice license after detecting violations related to the promotion of unapproved medical services.
The Ministry explained that the health practitioner promoted "Exosomes" injections as a cosmetic or medical treatment without obtaining the necessary licenses or sufficient scientific accreditation from the competent authorities within the Kingdom. The Ministry emphasizes that such practices may pose a risk to patient safety and health.
This step comes within the framework of the Ministry of Health's commitment to regulating medical practices in the health sector and ensuring that all practitioners adhere to professional standards and approved health regulations. Through these measures, the Ministry also aims to protect the community from misleading medical claims promoted online.
The Ministry of Health has called on all citizens and residents to ensure that medical centers and practitioners hold official licenses before receiving any treatment services. It also urged everyone to report any health violations through official channels to ensure the provision of safe and reliable medical care for all.
