Aesthetic Medicine Crackdown: Tunisia’s parliament committee met to tackle illegal aesthetic medicine, warning that unqualified people are carrying out procedures in unlicensed centers with products of unknown origin—reportedly leaving patients permanently disfigured—while lawmakers also flagged weak oversight of media and advertising. Heatwave Prison Health: Amnesty International urged Tunisia to protect prisoners during the current heatwave, especially older detainees and those with chronic illnesses, calling for ventilation, safe water, medical care, and access to cool spaces; the same crisis is fueling claims that jailed opposition leader Rached Ghannouchi has suffered fainting and severe exhaustion, with lawyers saying visits are being blocked. Power-and-Water Strain Hits Care: As temperatures near 50°C, Tunisia faces protests over electricity and water cuts; SONEDE reported a pipeline failure affecting Farhat Hached University Hospital and multiple neighborhoods, with gradual restoration expected early Friday. BCG for Bovine TB Pilot: Tunisia plans a pilot vaccination program against bovine tuberculosis using BCG, to test effectiveness and risks before any wider rollout, alongside existing surveillance and biosecurity measures. Health Access Tech Push: Tunisia is also preparing a national citizen health portal, “Sahetna.tn,” as part of broader moves to modernize healthcare access.
