National Council of the Order of Physicians in Tunisia Takes Action Against TV Program
The National Council of the Order of Physicians in Tunisia has announced that it will officially file a complaint against a television program that broadcasts content related to cancer treatment using non-medical methods. The show featured an individual without medical training, promoting treatments based on "plants" or unrecognized practices by science.
Claims Made by the Individual
During the program, the individual claimed to be able to cure all types of cancer, AIDS, and other serious diseases. They also stated that they had received former French President François Mitterrand, several ministers from various countries, and had been invited by princes. Furthermore, they asserted that some doctors even consulted their methods.
Response from the National Council
In its statement, the Council emphasizes that such practices pose a significant risk to the health of Tunisian citizens. It stresses that cancer treatment relies on specific medications and strict therapeutic protocols, prescribed only by specialized doctors and scientifically proven to be effective.
Objective of the Action
This action aims to protect the public from misleading medical information and dangerous practices, while highlighting the importance of consulting qualified professionals for the treatment of serious diseases like cancer. The National Council's complaint seeks to ensure that the public is not deceived by unproven and potentially harmful methods, and that they receive accurate and reliable medical information.
