In early March, journalists and medical service inspectors received reports concerning a social media post by physical therapist Valdas Jonelys. The post discussed the effects of various pharmaceuticals, including a specific Russian drug named “Amiksin,” which is not authorized for sale within the country. Following these reports, the Accreditation Service conducted a case investigation and subsequently took action.
According to documentation viewed by journalists from the news portal VE.lt, the Service issued a formal communication to the head of “Kineziologija” LLC, directing them to immediately cease the unlawful provision of healthcare services. The Service’s findings also addressed the professional scope of practice. While acknowledging that the physical therapist possesses a valid license to operate, the Authority emphasized that the practitioner is not authorized to prescribe medication.
The communication highlighted the boundaries of the medical service provided. The investigation centered on the unauthorized dissemination of medical advice and the discussion of restricted substances. The regulatory action underscores the adherence to established health codes and professional guidelines governing medical practice.
The intervention by the Accreditation Service serves to maintain the integrity of healthcare provision by ensuring that all services rendered by licensed professionals remain within their defined legal parameters and that the public is informed about the risks associated with unapproved drugs, such as the mentioned Russian compound.
