        Police officers and municipal inspectors have shut down an unlicensed clinic in Dubai where untrained 'surgeons' carried out cosmetic surgery procedures as patients laid on makeshift beds and surgical equipment mingled with kitchen utensils, reported the National. Several people were arrested in the raid, which was conducted after an undercover investigation found that the clinic was offering services such as lip and cheek enlargement, facelifts, laser hair removal, Botox injections and laser plastic surgery at prices far below what legitimate doctors charge.

        A national ban on smoking in the UAE has been delayed until health officials decide which government bodies will be responsible for its enforcement, the National has reported. The public will be fully informed once the details have been worked out, which could take weeks or months, officials said. 'The law will only become active from the time everything is clarified. It is a complicated law so there is a lot to work out and many different stakeholders to discuss it with,' Dr Wedad Al Maidoor, the head of the National Tobacco Control Committee, told the daily.

        Doctors in Saudi Arabia are now required to have medical malpractice insurance in order to obtain their Health Council certificates, Arab News has reported. Physicians must produce insurance documents valid for three years before receiving their certification. An insurance group, Allied Cooperative Insurance Group (ACIG) has said the policy covers legal liability toward third parties arising out of negligence by doctors. ACIG has designed its policy for all medical professionals, although it is only mandatory for doctors.
