All appropriate legal action will be taken against the negligent medical professionals, according to the ministry, which has confirmed this in collaboration with the appropriate authorities. Arrests were made after it was discovered that several medical professionals had violated patient confidentiality by sharing explicit videos on social media.
Several videos that go against ethical behavior and health standards were under the ministry's monitoring eye. Among the violations listed by the ministry were the following, publishing offensive and harsh behavior, failing to adhere to company policy, mistreating patients and making an unsuitable appearance in a video with an inpatient.
The Ministry of Health is taking this step as part of its efforts to improve health professionals' efficiency and ensure that they follow all relevant professional regulations and rules. It is part of its supervisory role to ensure that patients receive the best possible care and that their rights are protected. Most Viewed : 3 employees of a company fined with SR 3.95 million
The ministry highlighted the significance of following the executive regulations and Law of Practicing Healthcare Professions. These regulations require health practitioners to serve the public and individuals within the context of protecting their life, safety, and dignity.
Photographing patients or portions of patients is against the law in the Health Practitioner Ethics Guide published by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties, with the exception of certain circumstances like scientific research.
The loss of a health care provider's license is one possible consequence of this kind of violation. It is also against the law for the doctor to promote himself in any way, either directly or through a broker, unless the situation is specifically allowed by the executive regulations.
According to the ministry, those who create content that is harmful to public values and morals face penalties of up to 3 million Riyals in fines and five years in prison under the Anti-Cybercrime Law. Saudi Expatriates News is now at Google News
