The Medical and Dental Council (MDC), with the support of the police, has, in an operation, arrested 18 suspected quack medical doctors and dentists in the Greater Accra, Bono and Central regions.
The operation also led to the closure of seven health facilities where the suspects were operating.
The 12 fake dentists and six quack medical doctors are said to have attended to many people in their operational areas.
A qualified medical doctor, Dr Michael K. Obeng, was also arrested for working without a valid licence from the MDC and soliciting for clients for medical consultation in cosmetic surgery in a hotel, against professional expectation and the Health Professions Regulatory Bodies Act 2013 (Act 857).
