A producer or distributor of a good or service related to health and social services who is not a physician described in the first paragraph may not hold, directly or indirectly, any shares of the legal person or any interest in the partnership operating a specialized medical centre if such a good or such a service may be required by the centre’s clientele before, while or after a medical service is provided.
