The Dubai Police have arrested three women for illegally practicing medicine and carrying out cosmetic procedures without a licence in a residential apartment.

Authorities said the operations posed serious risks to public safety and breached the UAE’s laws.

The Anti-Economic Crime Department made the arrests in cooperation with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). The police said they received a tip-off about suspicious activities at the apartment. After confirming the information, officers carried out a raid, seizing medical equipment and unlicensed medications.

The suspects have been referred to the public prosecution for legal action.

Officials warned that performing medical and cosmetic work in unlicensed locations endangers the health and safety of clients. Dubai Police urged residents to seek treatment only from licensed facilities, verify the credentials of service providers, and avoid offers that could put their lives at risk.

The public was also encouraged to report illegal medical activities through the “Police Eye” service or by calling 901. Dubai Police reaffirmed their commitment to fighting unlicensed medical practices and enhancing community safety.
