The Inspectorate of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has just announced decisions to sanction administrative violations of organizations and individuals in the health sector, including a series of dental clinics.

Accordingly, at Hai Ngan Dental Company Limited (violating at the company branch at 502 Ngo Gia Tu, Ward 9, District 5) and Cong Quynh Dental Company Limited (256 Cong Quynh, Pham Ngu Lao Ward, District 1), the department's inspectors discovered that the practitioners did not register to practice medicine. For this violation, each facility was fined 8 million VND.

Due to incomplete posting of medical examination and treatment service prices, and failure to keep medical examination and treatment records in accordance with the law, Viet Han 04 International Dental Company Limited (violating at branch number 328 Nguyen Son, Phu Tho Hoa ward, Tan Phu district) was also fined 8 million VND.

The Department Inspectorate fined Ms. NTNT - owner of Kim Cuong 2 Dental Clinic (No. 35 Le Van Luong, Tan Kieng Ward, District 7) - 28.5 million VND and forced her to remove and delete advertising content that had not been confirmed by a competent state agency before implementation.

The reason is that the dental clinic did not list the departments correctly according to the operating license, the practitioner did not register to practice medicine, and advertised special products, goods, and services that were not certified by the competent state agency.

Minh Khai Dental Service Joint Stock Company (199 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Nguyen Cu Trinh Ward, District 1) was fined 16 million VND for not listing the names of departments in accordance with the operating license, not posting full prices for medical examination and treatment services, and practitioners not registering to practice medical examination and treatment as prescribed.

In addition to the above dental clinics, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health also imposed a fine of VND54 million on Cao Thang Eye Hospital Joint Stock Company (District 5), VND49 million on H&H Medical Services Company Limited (District 10), VND42 million on An An Company Limited (District 8)... along with other additional penalties.

Recently, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has continuously called on people when discovering or suspecting unlicensed medical examination and treatment facilities in the city or information advertising medical services on mass media, social networks... to immediately call the hotline at 0989.401.155 or report via the "Online Health" app so that the department's inspectors have information, promptly detect and handle according to regulations.
