The Ministry of Health in Suriname has strongly warned the population not to be misled by advertisements of remedies against the coronavirus. These remedies are recommended by lay people, who call themselves ‘doctor’.
According to the Surinamese ministry, this is about deception by illegal practices, which can pose a risk to health. This is because it concerns remedies that have not been tested for their effectiveness against the intended ailments and when used can seriously damage health.
Those guilty of these illegal practices will be subject to severe action by the Administration, the Economic Control Service and the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Health.
