The Ministry of Health has suspended the professional licenses of two doctors after identifying promotional content that used medical credentials to market exosome injections as a safe procedure despite the product not being approved for such use.
The ministry said the action was taken to protect public safety and ensure compliance with approved medical and regulatory standards.
Product Used Contrary to Approved Instructions
According to the ministry, the circulated video showed one doctor receiving the injection from his brother in an apparent attempt to demonstrate the product’s safety and effectiveness.
Officials stressed that personal experiences and family relationships cannot replace scientific evidence, regulatory approvals, and established medical standards.
The ministry noted that the product involved is intended for external use only according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and injecting it constitutes a violation of its approved use.
Professional and Marketing Violations
Authorities said the violations included exploiting professional status for marketing purposes, making scientifically unverified claims regarding the product’s safety and quality, and promoting a medical procedure in a potentially misleading manner.
The ministry emphasized that such actions conflict with healthcare practice regulations, which require medical professionals to rely on recognized scientific evidence and avoid unsupported commercial promotion.
Investigation Continues
The suspension will remain in effect while legal and regulatory procedures continue.
The ministry reiterated that healthcare professionals have a responsibility to provide accurate information and avoid influencing public decisions through the promotion of products or treatments lacking sufficient scientific and regulatory validation.
Members of the public were encouraged to report healthcare violations through the unified contact center 937.
