City’s largest political party has received about 100 complaints related to non-professionals allegedly offering medical services
Hong Kong authorities should step up efforts against illegal medical practices, the city’s largest political party has urged, after the organisation received about 100 complaints related to non-professionals allegedly offering pain relief services.
Lawmaker Chan Wing-kwong of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) said on Friday that some of the services cost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars – more expensive than the treatments provided by registered specialists.
“Many of those centres would say they offer alternative therapy, naturopathy or describe themselves as bone setters or pain relief centres,” said Chan, who is also a registered Chinese medicine practitioner.
