An economist who was pretended to be a doctor did abortions to patients in Russia, Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Healthcare reported.

Without prior diagnosis, he prescribed drugs for artificially interrupting pregnancy to all and sundry women — even women whose gestational age exceeded 12 weeks, as well as minors.

The first information that something strange was happening at the clinic was received by Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Healthcare in March 2019.

In July, the ‘clinic’ was closed. Criminal cases have been initiated.

Federal Service for Supervision of Healthcare urges patients affected by the actions of the scammers to apply to the investigation department.
