Taipei : Taiwan authorities will shutter a cosmetic surgery clinic for using posters of its nurses posing naked in a campaign it says was only aimed at finding them boyfriends, a report said Saturday.
Southern Tainan city’s health department is to close down the clinic after an outcry from several nurses’ associations, who said the photographs damaged the image of their profession, the United Daily News was quoted by AFP as saying.
Eyebrows were raised when the clinic put up the posters featuring three young nurses with a caption reading: “I decide my curves, you can be the focus too.”
The pictures were also used on the clinic’s website.
An official at the clinic defended the move, saying the photos were tasteful and were only aimed at helping the single nurses find boyfriends, the report said.
But despite this claim, the clinic faces a fine of up to 250,000 Taiwan dollars (7,500 US) for illegally advertising its services, the report added. (*)
