Lack of strict control procedures by management agencies such as some establishments practicing illegally or not meeting hygiene standards.
Brazil is one of the leading countries for cosmetic surgery, but it also faces many serious medical incidents. Major problems include illegal practices and substandard cosmetic surgery facilities.
South Korea is considered the cosmetic service capital of Asia, but it also has many problems related to medical malpractice: Foreign doctors without medical certificates in Korea perform illegal surgeries;
Many cosmetic tourists from other countries come to Korea and experience post-operative complications and difficulty in treatment due to lack of access to medical care after returning home.
Thailand is also a country quite famous for its cosmetic tourism industry but has also recorded many violations, especially involving foreign visitors, due to: Lack of safety standards: Some clinics operate illegally, do not meet international medical standards, causing many complications;
Problems with medical tourists: Foreign tourists face difficulties in dealing with post-surgical complications and difficulties in monitoring and treatment.
In European countries such as England, France, and Germany, cosmetic surgery is not without its share of medical errors and incidents due to: Lack of strict control, some European countries have noted a lack of supervision in the cosmetic industry, many doctors are not qualified to practice;
Medical incidents due to substandard cosmetic materials such as many cases involving the use of substandard or unknown origin fillers.
Faced with this situation, many countries have been strengthening management and supervision measures to limit medical errors and incidents in the field of aesthetics, including key groups of activities such as tightening regulations on aesthetic practice: Applying stricter regulations on aesthetic practice certificates and assessment standards to allow a medical facility to provide aesthetic services;
Raising customer awareness: people in need of cosmetic services are encouraged to learn carefully about the facility and the doctor performing the procedure before making a decision;
Strictly manage cosmetic products: Products such as fillers and botox must be tested for quality and have a clear origin before use.
In Vietnam, in the face of medical violations and incidents related to cosmetic surgery, the Ho Chi Minh City Health Department has clearly identified 5 groups of solutions.
First of all, tighten compliance with regulations in cosmetic practice, both in terms of cosmetic practice licenses and assessment to allow a medical facility to provide cosmetic services;
Strengthen communication activities, continue to publicly and transparently disclose information about cosmetic establishments that violate the law to raise people's awareness when they need to use cosmetic services;
Standardize professional guidelines and technical procedures of cosmetic specialties. While waiting for the Ministry of Health to continue issuing technical procedure guidelines, the Department of Health will mobilize relevant leading experts to unify and compile guidelines, disseminate, train, monitor, and inspect compliance of all cosmetic clinics in the area;
Recommend the Ministry of Health to supplement legal regulations to strictly control products used in the field of aesthetics (including drugs, supplies, and medical equipment);
Create digital data in the management work in the field of aesthetics, deploy electronic medical records at all specialized aesthetic hospitals, general hospitals with cosmetic surgery or internal aesthetic departments and specialized aesthetic clinics, create a database in the management of aesthetic practice in the City.
Particularly for "underground cosmetic services", the Department of Health Inspectorate clearly identified groups of solutions that need to be focused on implementing, such as encouraging people to monitor and report to state management agencies when discovering individuals and organizations providing unlicensed cosmetic services, "disguised" activities to prevent and handle according to regulations through the "Online Medical" software or through the hotline numbers of the Department of Health (0967.771.010) and the Department of Health Inspectorate (0989.401.155).
Quickly report when receiving suspected cases of complications related to cosmetic surgery: request that hospitals of ministries, branches, hospitals under the Department of Health, and the 115 Emergency Center proactively contact the Special Task Force of the Department of Health (through the Department Inspectorate) to promptly activate the rapid response process.
Coordinate with the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs in the assessment and supervision of training and vocational training management activities, according to the Coordination Regulations signed by the two Departments.
Continue to strengthen coordination with departments, branches and localities in state management of establishments operating in the field of unlicensed aesthetics, thereby creating an effective "network" to promptly and thoroughly handle violations of this field.
Handling key and important cases: for cases of repeated intentional violations, the Department of Health will transfer the case to the Ho Chi Minh City Police for handling according to authority.
At the same time, continue to promote the effectiveness of the Special Task Force of the Department of Health in proactively detecting and strictly handling illegal advertisements in the field of aesthetics.
