IPOH: The Health Ministry will conduct raids on the illegal clinics and pharmacies operated by foreigners in Kuala Lumpur, says Dr Lee Boon Chye.

Dr Lee said the ministry has been receiving complaints off and on about foreigners practising medicine in the country without proper procedures."The ministry has taken action against those involved sporadically," he told reporters after launching SJK Gunung Rapat's annual sports day here on Saturday .

It was reported on Friday that there are dispensaries containing a range of medicines imported from the South Asian country, understood to be both modern and alternative types. "Therefore, we will definitely take stern action, and gather all evidence to ensure the unscrupulous individuals face the music," he added.He said in 2017, a total of 15.6% of children aged between 10 and 17 were overweight, while 14.8% were obese."The increasing trend is probably due to the nutritional status of the children, and intake of sugary products," he added.

He said the ministry has even made sure that the food sold in school canteens was healthy and contained a balanced diet.

Do some homework before you suggest it. What's the impact & whether it will achieve the results in the target time.
