The State Commission to Protect against Sanitary Risks closed three Mexicali clinics due to anomalies found during recent inspections
Staff with the State Commission to Protect against Sanitary Risks has shut down three Mexicali aesthetic surgery clinics.
Commissioner Abraham Felix Moss said the closings were mainly due to the lack of training of medical staff.
During inspections the commission has found doctors have been unable to produce certificates that prove their ability to practice such surgeries.
«If a doctor wants to practice aesthetic surgery we at least request necessary (academic) studies,» Felix Moss said. «They must produce documents from an accredited and certified institution.»
Everyday the agency holds enforcement inspections in clinics, restaurants and other businesses to make sure companies comply with state health requirements.
The agency plans to hold inspections next in hotels located in San Felipe.
As of last month, the commission has temporarily or indefinitely closed 20 clinics statewide after finding anomalies.
EATERIES
The state Commission to Protect against Sanitary Risks has identified about 560 eateries that need to get regularized in order to make owners comply with public health requirements.
Commission Director Abraham Felix Moss said all restaurants without exception must comply with regulations.
The agency has held 320 inspections in which staff members have identified mainly minor anomalies.
Director Felix Moss said those anomalies do not put consumers’ health at risk. He explained those anomalies lead to a lack of notifications for the public.
The agency plans to hold over a hundred inspections for the rest of the year in order to avoid food poisoning.
Director Félix Moss said while restaurants must comply with 53 requirements statewide in Mexicali the agency has added more food management regulations due to the summer temperatures.
Those found in violation of requirements are mostly given five days to adjust and comply with regulations, except when serious violations are found.
