Dubai Police arrest 3 women practising medicine without licence

 The Economic Crimes Combating Department at the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation of Dubai Police, in collaboration with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), arrested three European women for practising medicine and performing plastic surgeries without a licence in an apartment, in violation of the laws of the UAE.

Dubai Police explained that they received information about suspicious activity in a residential apartment where unlicensed medical and cosmetic services were being offered. After verifying the information, a well-planned trap was set, and the apartment was raided. Three women were arrested, along with unlicensed medical tools, devices, and quantities of medications. The women were reportedly referred to the Public Prosecution for legal action. 

The police added that the suspects were conducting medical and plastic surgeries in unlicensed places, posing a significant risk to the health and safety of clients. 

Dubai Police affirmed their ongoing efforts to combat illegal medical practices and protect the health and safety of the community. They urged the public to seek services only from licensed healthcare facilities in the UAE, verify the qualifications and expertise of medical and service providers, and avoid falling for misleading offers that could endanger their lives.

The police called on the public to immediately report any similar activities through the 'Police Eye' service or the 901 call centre, stressing their continued efforts to combat all forms of crime and enhance security and safety in the emirate.
