Rectifying advertising activities of medical examination and treatment facilities

Accordingly, the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management received feedback from a number of agencies, units and the press regarding advertising on medical examination and treatment activities. In particular, a number of medical examination and treatment facilities have advertising activities on social networking sites such as at Facebook address: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14vaFottJw/ medical examination and treatment facility DNA International Hospital has advertised "high-tech blood filtration technique to remove blood fat, reduce the risk of stroke...".

To clarify the reflections of the press agencies, the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management requested the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health to check and review the content related to the reflections on the advertising content of DNA International Hospital.

In particular, review the list of techniques that the Ministry of Health has licensed the hospital to perform in the advertisement at the above address. In case the advertisement is not in accordance with the approved list of techniques, not in accordance with the certificate of advertising content that has been licensed, it is recommended to strictly handle the violation.

The Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management requests the Department of Health of provinces and cities to inspect and review the advertising content of medical examination and treatment facilities in their management areas. In particular, the units must strictly handle medical examination and treatment facilities that advertise medical examination and treatment services without being granted an advertising license and advertise incorrectly with the content that has been granted an advertising license by the competent authority in the field of medical examination and treatment.
