Qatar shuts down two private healthcare units for licencing violations

Legal and administrative measures are being taken against the violators involved.

Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has announced the closure of the laser and hydrafacial units at a private healthcare centre following violations of professional licencing regulations.

An inspection by specialists from the MoPH’s Department of Healthcare Professions revealed that nursing staff had been performing laser treatments on patients without the required medical consultations or doctor’s supervision.

Moreover, hydrafacial treatments, skin cleansing procedures, and other related services were carried out by practitioners who lacked the necessary professional licences from the ministry.

These actions were found to violate Law No. (11) of 1982 on Regulating Medical Treatment Institutions and Law No. (8) of 1991 on Regulating the Practice of Allied Health Professions, and its amendment under Law No. (14) of 1994.

The ministry confirmed that legal and administrative measures are being taken against the centre and the violating practitioners.
