In recent years, the system of private medical and pharmaceutical establishments in the province has grown strongly in quantity and quality, contributing significantly to improving the effectiveness of public health care. The management of private medical and pharmaceutical practices has received attention and direction from all levels and sectors and achieved many positive results. The development of the private health system has mobilized financial resources from organizations and individuals in the community to invest in health care, especially modern equipment, application of high technology for medical examination and treatment, contributing to the effective implementation of the dual task of both preventing the COVID-19 epidemic, taking care of public health and developing the economy and society.

Deputy Head of the Culture - Social Committee of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Tuan Tuong presented the Report on the results of the survey on compliance with legal regulations on management of private medical and pharmaceutical practice in the province, period 2021-2023.

The report on the results of the survey on compliance with legal regulations on management of private medical and pharmaceutical practice in the province in the period of 2021-2023 presented by Deputy Head of the Culture - Social Committee of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Tuan Tuong at the explanation session clearly stated: In addition to the results achieved by the Department of Health stated in the report, through the survey, the state management of private medical and pharmaceutical practice still has some shortcomings and limitations.

Specifically, the work of advising and implementing information activities and disseminating legal regulations on private medical and pharmaceutical practice by the Department of Health has not been widely implemented. Organizations and individuals do not fully understand the legal regulations on private medical and pharmaceutical practice, so registration dossiers are still lacking information, violating regulations, many dossiers have to be returned or withdrawn. The software system for managing private medical and pharmaceutical practice has not met the requirements of data management, full and timely disclosure of information about practitioners and practice establishments on the electronic information portal of the health sector.

Post-licensing inspection and examination work by the Department of Health has not been carried out regularly, the number is still small; there is a lack of close coordination with sectors, district and commune People's Committees in propaganda, inspection and examination of private medical and pharmaceutical practice activities. There are still many private medical and pharmaceutical practice facilities operating without a license, and cosmetic service facilities operating without being declared qualified in localities. Some facilities operate beyond their scope of expertise; do not comply with operating hours; the person in charge of professional responsibility is not present during the time the facility is operating. The situation of advertising medical examination and treatment services incorrectly on social networking platforms is still common.
