The regulation includes all foreign health personnel, including obstetricians, but excludes dentists, pharmacists and hospital orderlies.
Meanwhile, police in the southern province of Adana detained seven people, including a Syrian doctor, who opened a health center and a pharmacy without official permits.
Carrying out a raid on some eight so-called health centers, which included a maternity center, a pharmacy and a dentistry center, police discovered one of the locations used to be a butcher’s shop and still had blood stains and meat hooks on its walls.
Confiscating two truck-loads of medicine found in the center’s pharmacy, police also raided an apartment which was used as a dentistry treatment center, with 20 people waiting inside to receive services.
In another house raided by police teams, police found a Syrian woman who offered services as a gynecologist.
“I am not a doctor, I do not get patients. They come [to me],” said the woman, defending herself.
