Health: Closing an unlicensed feeding center and seizure of an impersonation of a doctor in Giza and Sohag
Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, the official spokesman of the Ministry, explained that the Free Treatment Department in Giza, in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior, closed the Diet Plus Center for therapeutic Nutrition, obesity and thinness, and its laboratory attached to a girl in the Badrashin, because they did not possess a license and violated the law regulating medical facilities No. 153 of 2004, and it turns out that the person who manages the center is not a doctor and practices the profession without a license, in violation of Law No. 415 of 1954, with the seizure of medical rush bearing the name of the center and a sign claiming to practice the profession.
In Sohag, Dr. Hisham Zaki, head of the Central Department of NGOs, confirmed that the Free Therapy Department seized a person who impersonated a doctor, and runs an unlicensed center in his home in the second department department, noting that the center was promoting the treatment of chronic diseases and tumors with alternative medicine without a scientific basis, with false allegations of honorary doctoral degrees.
Used cupping tools have also been seized that pose a health risk, drugs and unknown medical supplies, with no adherence to infection control standards.
Zaki pointed to taking the necessary legal measures, including editing records and seizing seizures, with the continued investigations in coordination with the relevant authorities.
The Ministry affirms the continuation of its firm regulatory campaigns on private medical facilities and clinics to combat illegal practices, in order to preserve the health and safety of citizens.
