📢MMA urges action against bogus doctors in illegal clinics

The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) calls on authorities to intensify enforcement against illegal clinics operated by bogus doctors, warning that such activities pose serious risks to patient safety.

MMA President Datuk Dr Thirunavukarasu Rajoo said stronger, sustained enforcement is needed — particularly in areas with high concentrations of migrant workers, who are often targeted by unlicensed operators.

“Illegal healthcare operations put patients at risk of misdiagnosis, unsafe treatment, and improperly dispensed medication. Protecting patient safety must remain a priority.”
— 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐤 𝐃𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐮𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐮 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐨, 𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭

The public is urged to seek treatment only from doctors registered with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and holding a valid Annual Practising Certificate (APC).
