Regulation of health practitioners

Regulation of health practitioners involves official oversight to ensure they meet specific standards of competence, ethics, and safety. Regulatory bodies set requirements for education, license practitioners, and monitor their practice to protect public health. They investigate complaints, enforce codes of conduct, and can take disciplinary action if necessary. This process helps maintain high-quality care, accountability, and public trust in health professionals, ensuring practitioners provide safe and effective treatments within their scope of practice.
