The Ministry of Health has warned people against buying unregistered health products online.
"There is a significant risk in the promotion and sale of medical products and devices without the medical approval or advice from a specialised doctor," said Dr Amin Al Amiri, the assistant undersecretary for medical practices and licensing at the ministry.
Dr Al Amiri said the ministry monitored websites and had already asked to the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority to block a website that sells contact lenses.

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut
Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”
