Almost everyone has a few health check-ups in their life to serve their studies, work... but how many people actually go for a check-up?

Providing information at the regular Government press conference in May 2023 held on the afternoon of June 3, Lieutenant General To An Xo, spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Security, said that there were male patients who received certificates of inflammation of female organs. There were even people who had lost both arms but were still granted a driver's license because they had a health certificate.
According to the leader of the Ministry of Public Security, because people's demand for health certificates in general is very high for driving school, working, applying for jobs, or related to insurance... from there, negative things and violations of the law occur.
In fact, the story of fraud in issuing health certificates has been going on for a long time and is quite common in many localities. The authorities have taken steps to prevent it but have not been thorough. Many people compare buying a health certificate to buying a bunch of vegetables. That is why many people often use the phrase "buying a health certificate" to make a record for something instead of going for a health check.
Health certificates for some jobs may only stop at the level of ensuring procedures according to the regulations of the file, the harm is not much. But there are health certificates that have helped change the situation completely, so the level of danger that these papers cause to society is not small. We all know that, not too long ago, a chain of making fake mental patient certificates for criminals to get them out on bail was discovered, shocking public opinion. Among them, the accomplices were some doctors of mental hospitals, people who when entering the profession, took the oath of medical ethics.
Most recently, the fraud in the process of issuing health certificates has occurred very seriously in Dong Nai province and Ho Chi Minh City related to a number of clinics. Through the initial search, the authorities in Dong Nai province seized 135,000 social insurance leave certificates and 400 health examination papers with fake results, without information of the examinee. According to the spokesperson of the Ministry of Public Security, this was done to create records to withdraw social insurance money. Although knowing that the workers quit their jobs for illegitimate reasons, the social insurance agency still had to pay because the records showed that the workers were "sick". This behavior not only caused damage to the insurance agency, but also disrupted society.
Health certificates must be an honest voice reflecting the true physical condition of a person at the time of examination. Confirmation of the health status of the examinee is guaranteed by the professional reputation of the doctor and the legal responsibility of the medical agency, but many health certificates are becoming a fear for society. Because of certificates of mental illness, criminals are released on bail. Because of certificates of good health, people with disabilities are still granted driving licenses. Perhaps many people are thinking that this is normal because once there is supply, there must be demand. However, once a fake mental patient is released on bail and then continues to commit crimes; a person with a driving license but not in good health causes an accident... this cannot be a normal story anymore. Along with the stronger handling of the police, above all, it is necessary to improve medical ethics education and handle internal responsibilities at the competent agencies issuing health certificates. Only then will violations in issuing health certificates not be pushed too far.
