A 62-year-old Chinese national on a long-term visit pass was fined $7,000 for practicing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) when she was neither qualified nor registered to do so.
The woman, Li Li, had practiced TCM on a 72-year-old cancer patient in 2019. Apart from not being qualified in any prescribed practice of TCM, Li was also not registered as a TCM practitioner with the TCM Practitioner Board and does not hold a valid license issued under the Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act 1980.
