Saudi Ministry of Health Suspends Health Practitioner’s License for Promoting Unapproved Injections
The Ministry of Health in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has announced the temporary suspension of a health practitioner's professional license. This firm decision followed the practitioner's appearance in videos circulating on social media platforms, where they were promoting the use of injections known as "exosomes" for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes.
The Ministry explained that this action was taken due to the practitioner's violation of medical rules and regulations followed in the Kingdom. It emphasized that the information provided by the practitioner in the circulated content was inaccurate and misleading to the public, as these injections have not obtained the necessary official licenses for the uses mentioned.
Through these decisions, the Ministry of Health aims to protect the health of citizens and residents from any medical practices that may pose a risk to their safety. The Ministry continuously monitors health content published online to ensure that all practitioners adhere to the established professional and ethical standards.
In addition to the license suspension, the Ministry has begun taking all regulatory and legal measures against the violating practitioner. It is expected that the case will be referred to the competent committees to impose appropriate penalties, which may include financial fines or permanent revocation of the license in accordance with the Law of Practicing Healthcare Professions.
In conclusion, the Ministry of Health urged all members of society to verify the credibility of medical information before believing or following it. It also advised the public to rely solely on official sources and certified doctors for medical consultations to ensure safe and reliable healthcare.
