The Health Bureau (SSM) said in a statement yesterday that it has ordered the 90-day closure of the Mayo Medical Centre for allegedly providing vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment without a licence.
The bureau said that on Friday its officers inspected the centre, located on the 20th floor of the Fortuna Business Centre (FBC), after a resident reported to the bureau that the medical centre had been “secretly” providing IVF treatment and that “there are victims already”.
The statement said that the centre was granted a licence for providing health and nursing services but the Health Bureau did not allow the centre to provide treatments of assisted reproductive technology (ART).
These undated handout photos provided by the Health Bureau yesterday show the hidden room of the Mayo Medical Centre being sealed and ART equipment found in the room.
