Two Chinese nationals caught posing as doctors in Egypt

Egyptian authorities have apprehended two Chinese nationals for operating unlicensed health facilities and practicing medicine without proper authorization. The Ministry of Health stated that inspections of private health institutions have been intensified to prevent practices that endanger public health.

In Cairo's Maadi district, a center named Haiyan Chinese Health Care Center was found to be operating without the necessary licenses. During inspections, it was discovered that a Chinese woman, despite not being a doctor, was examining patients. Unidentified acupuncture needles and various herbal products were seized from the center.

Separately, in Giza's Dokki district, an acupuncture center was shut down for lacking a work permit. The Chinese national managing this center was found to be practicing as a physical therapy specialist without the required professional licenses. The Egyptian Ministry of Health announced that legal action has been initiated against institutions providing unlicensed health services and individuals posing as doctors or health workers.
