Speaking on the development, FCCPC said, “Every action whether interim or final that prevents the risk of injury to patients/consumers and or mitigate the pain and suffering of citizens on accounts of injury by manufacturers or service providers is an important component of a larger effort to protect citizens.”

The commission said it “finds all such actions commendable,” adding that, “The initiation of robust consumer protection regulatory intervention in the case has catalysed other relevant and appropriate action.”

The commission said the approach to the case was “timely,” adding that, “the case was resolved in a manner that respects and protects the rights of service providers.”
