Director of Cho Ray Hospital will strictly handle doctors who prescribe 'hand-carried drugs'

On September 1, Dr. Nguyen Tri Thuc, Director of Cho Ray Hospital, said that he had just issued a notice reminding about activities related to the use of drugs in the hospital. The notice was signed on August 31.

According to the Director of Cho Ray Hospital, the use of medicine for patients is very important. If the quality of medicine is not guaranteed, the origin of medicine is unclear, it will lead to the risk of harming the patient's health.

To limit the risk to patients from the use of substandard or improperly prescribed drugs, all staff of Cho Ray Hospital, especially doctors and nurses, must comply with current regulations on drug management and use during the process of consulting, instructing, and prescribing drugs for patients.

Specifically, the Director of Cho Ray Hospital requires that patients absolutely must not be advised, instructed, or prescribed drugs that are not yet permitted for circulation in Vietnam, drugs that are "hand-carried goods," or drugs of unknown origin.

He emphasized that Cho Ray Hospital medical staff must not coordinate or cooperate with subjects offering to buy and sell drugs that do not comply with the law on drug supply and sale.

Do not guide or introduce patients or their relatives to buy medicine outside the hospital without following the hospital's procedures and regulations and the law.

Absolutely do not bring personal medicine or medical supplies into the hospital pharmacy to sell or provide to patients without following hospital regulations.

Medical information must not be used as a basis to guide, orient, entice, or prescribe patients to use functional foods as medicine.

"Heads of clinical departments, pharmacy departments and other departments are responsible for inspecting and supervising activities related to medical examination and treatment, prescription, supply and use of drugs to promptly detect violations or signs of violations, remind, adjust work and handle immediately", the Director of Cho Ray Hospital directed, and also requested departments and functional departments to report violations or signs of violations, especially cases with signs of collective, systematic or organized violations.

The Director of Cho Ray Hospital affirmed that individuals who intentionally violate regulations on activities related to guidance, orientation, prescription, supply and use of drugs will be strictly handled. If there is a violation, no mitigating circumstances will be considered.
