A peculiar case came before the El Othmania correctional court in the Yaghmoracen district of Oran on Monday. The defendant, whose identity is being withheld, stood accused of practicing medicine without a license and using substandard methods. Specifically, he allegedly treated patients with expired medical products and, remarkably, leeches. The trial centers around concerns regarding patient safety and the dangers of unregulated medical practices within Oran. Details surrounding the extent of the alleged fraudulent activity and the number of patients affected are still emerging. The court is expected to deliver a judgment following the presentation of evidence and arguments. This case highlights the risks associated with unqualified individuals offering medical services.
