Vilufushi MP Hassan Afeef, a member of the main-ruling MDP, has accused clinics affiliated with doctors on the Technical Advisory Group (TAG), which is part of the Health Emergency Operation Center (HEOC), of committing fraud in conducting COVID-19 PCR testing.
During a parliamentary debate on Wednesday, Afeef stated that he had received information that clinics affiliated with TAG doctors were performing COVID-19 rapid tests instead of PCR tests and providing PCR result certificates.
Despite his inability to establish the veracity of the allegations, Afeef, who is involved in a medical supply company, feels “something must have happened” to provoke the allegations.
Furthermore, he demanded that the authorities, particularly the health ministry, look into the claims.
