This decision was taken after the specialized inspection teams uncovered violations of Ministerial Resolution No. 87/ 2023, which regulates advertising in the private medical sector. It was found that some advertisements contradict the principles of the medical profession, promote practices that are not scientifically approved, or have a commercial nature that is inconsistent with professional ethics.

The violations also included transgressions in medical practices as per the provisions of Law No. 70/2020 regulating the practice of medicine and allied professions, the rights of patients, and health facilities; hence, the need to take legal action against the violating facilities.

The Ministry of Health confirmed that close field monitoring of health facilities in the private sector is ongoing, with the aim of raising performance efficiency and ensuring everyone’s compliance with professional standards and approved health legislation. It emphasized that patient safety and the quality of health services are priorities without compromise, and that it is continuing to strictly implement the laws to protect public health and promote a safe, high-quality health environment
