The Ministry of Public Health announced the temporary shutdown of the esthetics clinic Stetic Home by Janet Jaques in Higuey. The center is closed for being in violation with Art. 100 of the General Health Law 42-01.
Dr. Mayra Altagracia Paula, provincial director for the Ministry of Public Health, said that clinics that carry out invasive procedures without authorization will be shut down. She said this applies to labs, dental centers and health centers that do not have certified staff. The Ministry has shut down nine centers this year for carrying out non-authorized procedures.
The Dominican Society of Plastic Surgery (Sodocipre) recently congratulated the Ministry of Public Health for stepping up its inspections. The Society recommends potential patients to check out the credentials before undergoing esthetics procedures.
