The Latvian Medical Council is a regulatory body responsible for overseeing the practice of medicine in Latvia. It ensures that medical professionals meet the required standards of education and training. The Council also maintains a register of licensed practitioners, ensuring that only qualified individuals can provide medical services to the public. In addition to licensing, the Latvian Medical Council addresses issues related to professional conduct and ethics. It investigates complaints against medical practitioners and can impose sanctions if necessary. This helps to maintain public trust in the healthcare system and ensures that patients receive safe and effective care.
