The Ministry of Health has announced a permanent ban on an expatriate dentist from practicing in the healthcare field after confirming multiple medical errors during his tenure in the Riyadh and Tabuk regions.

This tough approach is meant to discourage other practitioners thereby guaranteeing law compliance and protection of public health.

In its statement, the ministry reaffirmed its whole will to implement the laws of practicing healthcare professions and their executive guidelines.
