Didier Raoult, the controversial French doctor who promoted hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19, has been banned from practicing medicine in France for two years starting from February 1, 2025. The French Order of Physicians found him guilty of acting against the interests of patients by pushing the unproven treatment. Raoult’s claims about the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine were found to be unfounded, and his actions were criticized for potentially putting lupus patients at risk due to increased demand for the drug. This suspension, though symbolic as Raoult is retired, serves as a warning to doctors worldwide to adhere to ethical guidelines in patient care.
