Lawyer warns about the dangers of “promotional medical services”

Not all medical services offered as part of promotions are actually beneficial, Evgenia Ryzhkova, a teacher at the Department of Medical Law and Bioethics at SamSMU, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

She noted that any medical procedure must be preceded by an examination that may reveal contraindications, and in such a situation the client has the right to refuse the service, even if it was purchased on credit, since it is not considered provided. In this situation, you need to contact the clinic with an application, and early repayment of the loan also exempts you from paying interest on it.

At the same time, with a “promotion” it is more difficult to return money for services and goods. The lawyer recommended that before payment, require the seller to provide a registration certificate, an appropriate license, as well as complete and reliable information with the characteristics of the product, including contraindications.
