MMA calls for tougher enforcement after repeat illegal clinic discoveries
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has called for tougher enforcement after the latest discovery of suspected illegal clinics and seizure of unregistered medicines and medical equipment.
The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has called for stronger enforcement measures following the recent discovery of illegal clinics and the seizure of unregistered medicines and medical equipment. This comes in the wake of similar illegal clinics uncovered earlier this year, prompting MMA president Dr L. Sivanaesan to express concern over the use of unregistered medicines and equipment by unqualified individuals, which poses a serious risk to patient health and public safety.
The MMA urges for a sustained, intelligence-led enforcement approach that includes coordinated inspections and regular follow-ups at previously identified illegal sites, as well as stricter checks at entry points to prevent the influx of unregistered medicines into the country.
