Egyptian health authorities crackdown on unlicensed clinics

Overview

The Egyptian Ministry of Health has conducted a series of inspections and closures targeting unlicensed medical facilities across different governorates.

In Monufia, the Health Directorate closed a private clinic after discovering it was managed by a woman impersonating a dermatologist and practicing medicine without legal qualifications. This operation, conducted under the direction of Health Minister Khaled Abdel-Gafar, was part of a campaign to eliminate illegal medical practices.

Similarly, in the Dakahlia Governorate, authorities ordered the closure of the ‘Qawam’ therapeutic nutrition clinic in Damira village. During the inspection, officials apprehended a pharmacist who was reportedly practicing medicine without a license, performing examinations, and dispensing medication. The Ministry has emphasized its commitment to intensifying oversight of private medical facilities to ensure public safety.
