Singapore Medical Council may take legal action against DoctorxDentist
THE Singapore Medical Council (SMC) may take legal action against online platform DoctorxDentist, after the startup failed to meet demands made by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and SMC.
The SMC had asked DoctorxDentist, a medical review and consumer education website, to remove all listings of registered medical practitioners that it had taken from the SMC's website without permission by Friday.
As at Saturday, no attempts have been made by the company to do so, MOH said in a circular as seen by The Business Times. The circular said SMC is "presently exploring avenues of legal recourse" against the platform.
