Saudi Ministry Suspends Licenses of Two Doctors Over Unauthorized Exosome Procedures
The Saudi Ministry of Health has officially suspended the professional licenses of two doctors following an investigation into their unauthorized promotion and use of exosome injections. The inquiry was triggered after a promotional video circulated on social media, in which the practitioners allegedly leveraged their professional titles and personal connections to build public trust. Regulators raised significant concerns regarding the marketing tactics used to frame these injections as safe, despite them lacking proper medical authorization for such procedures.
Following a thorough regulatory review, the ministry emphasized that all medical treatments must be strictly vetted and approved for their specific intended use. Officials issued a stern reminder that the approval of cosmetic products for topical application does not grant practitioners the right to inject them or make unsubstantiated medical claims. The ministry concluded by reiterating the necessity for all healthcare professionals to uphold ethical standards and strictly follow established scientific guidelines to ensure patient safety and maintain public trust within the medical field.
