Eight of the 36 clinics in Kampong Thom’s Stoung district were inspected on Monday, resulting in two being shut down and two others being fined as part of the ongoing efforts to crack down on unlicensed clinics throughout the country.

Inspections were made after a complaint was filed by district authorities asking provincial officials to help curb illegal health care service providers, said Say Nora, deputy prosecutor and spokeswoman for Kompong Thom Provincial Court. The action follows a directive from the Health and Interior ministries to go after such businesses.

“They used the name of this or that doctor [for their business], and if [those doctors] were there, it would be OK, but the ones who were running the businesses were not them,” Nora said.
