Unauthorized pharmaceuticals, unqualified dentists
45 unlicensed Raparin medical facilities closed in past year
RAPARIN — The Health Inspection and Follow-up Committee in Raparin has shut down 45 private health facilities, including dental clinics, in the past year for operating without proper licenses.
Taha Mohammed, a spokesperson for the Raparin Health Department, told 964media that the closures resulted from various infractions. Numerous facilities were caught selling medications beyond their licensed scope, including unauthorized drugs.
Notably, several dental clinics were closed for lacking the requisite medical certifications.
