Non-resident falls ill after receiving unlicensed skin whitening injections

A non-resident worker from the Philippines has recently been arrested by the Public Security Police Force (PSP) for allegedly administering three injections on fellow Filipino woman, causing bacteremia to the latter.
The case was first identified by the hospital about a Filipina feeling unwell after receiving a skin whitening injection. Preliminary diagnosis was bacteremia, or bacteria in the blood. Under normal circumstances, blood should be germ-free.
Due to this diagnosis, the hospital notified the PSP.
Details were uncovered that the victim received “whitening therapies” on June 6, 13 and 19 at the suspect’s place of residence. Each session lasted about 15 minutes and cost MOP200. Five minutes after the last session, the victim felt dizzy and started vomiting. She was sent to the hospital.
When interrogated by the police, the suspect, who is in her 30s, confessed on the deeds and the fact that she had no medical knowledge while administering any jab.
While investigating the case, the PSP accidentally unearthed a fraudulent employment and arrested three individuals from both Macau and Hong Kong.
The police discovered that the suspect has allegedly paid a Hong Kong middleman MOP10,000 to obtain a non-resident worker ID so as to remain in Macau. The “employer” was later paid MOP8,000 for the “convenience.” AL
