Background

MOH monitors and acts on complaints against both unlicensed and licensed healthcare institutions and practitioners of breaches of our regulatory requirements, such as those under the Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act (PHMCA) or registration under the Medical Registration Act (MRA) or Dental Registration Act (DRA).
The healthcare institutions and practitioners against whom MOH has recently taken enforcement action are listed below. The duration a healthcare institution or practitioner remains on the list varies based on the type of offence committed. This list will be updated periodically.
