Action against unregistered traditional medicine practitioners from tomorrow

Starting tomorrow, traditional medicine practitioners who are not registered with the Health Ministry may be subject to legal action, including fines and imprisonment under the Traditional and Complementary Medicine Act 2016 (Act 775).

The ministry’s Traditional and Complementary Medicine Division principal assistant director, Dr Tajul Iqmal Tajul Arus said this was following the second phase of the enforcement of the Act against traditional medicine practitioners who have yet to register with the ministry.
