00:00Unlicensed doctors are ruining the reputation of genuine aesthetic medicine practitioners
00:08by conducting procedures they are not trained for.
00:12Dr Koh Chung Beng, a leading specialist in aesthetic treatment,
00:17said the situation is dire given the rising number of people
00:21administering various beauty procedures in place of doctors.
00:26He said these unlicensed doctors now routinely carry out plastic surgeries
00:31such as breast augmentation, liposuction and Botox.
00:36When these procedures done by those who are unlicensed go awry,
00:40Koh said it causes widespread panic with genuine doctors bearing the brunt.
00:46He said the situation is made worse by the lack of regulation
00:51as culprits are able to get away scot-free
00:54and end up setting up another bogus business under a different name.
00:59Meanwhile, a health ministry official said some genuine doctors were partly to blame
01:04as they would set up new branches with bogus practitioners
01:08to expand their business and reap profits.
