Responding to a parliamentary question from MP André Bauler of the Democratic Party (DP), Deprez revealed that ten doctors have had their licences suspended, while four others faced complete revocation.
The suspended licences, issued since 2014, affected various medical specialties, including general practice, otolaryngology (ENT), urology, gynaecology, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Notably, one dentist’s licence was initially suspended but later permanently revoked. The revoked licences encompassed practitioners in general medicine, gynaecology, psychiatry, and dentistry.
Under the 1983 law governing medical practice, licence revocations are the result of disciplinary or criminal sanctions.
Doctors from non-European Union countries who obtained their diploma in a non-EU country seeking to practice in Luxembourg must comply with stringent regulations outlined in the 2016 law on the recognition of professional qualifications. This includes presenting recognised diplomas for basic medical training and specialisation.
