The Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) has warned that patients who visited an unregistered provider of cosmetic and medical procedures in Sydney may have been exposed to hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV and should monitor for skin infections.
The practitioner, known as I-Pei Pan, Dr Pan and Dr Pan Pan, was banned from advertising for or administering any health service in March 2025 after the HCCC discovered she had provided invasive procedures, infusions and injections at a clinic in Sydney's CBD on Sussex Street. A search of that clinic found veterinary surgical equipment, evidence of procedures that breached skin penetration laws, and practices that increased the risk of infection between clients.
Despite the prohibition order, which remains in place, the HCCC found Pan continued to operate privately out of a home in Redfern. A search of that address on September 22 seized large amounts of imported and unapproved medicines, along with medical devices including specula used to examine and treat gynaecological conditions, needles, dental needles, syringes, cannulation tubes and infusion sets. The HCCC understands that gynaecological conditions in women who visited Pan may have been either overlooked or treated incorrectly.
