Health Bureau (SSM) Director Lei Chin Ion said yesterday that most customers of the clinics which provided artificial insemination services without a licence were non-locals as Macau’s regulation in the field is not as strict as nearby jurisdictions.
Lei made the remarks on the sidelines of the launching ceremony of the government’s Paediatric Rehabilitation and Treatment Centre at the public Health Centre in Areia Preta district.
The bureau said last week that three private clinics were suspected of having provided in vitro fertilisation (IVF) services without a licence.
