Repeated reminders, signs of disregard for the law
It is known that after issuing the Decision on sanctioning administrative violations (on March 12, 2026) for Tue Minh International Dental Facility (Vi Thanh Ward, Can Tho City), by May 2026, the Can Tho Department of Health had a document on coordinating supervision of compliance with the sanctioning Decision sent to the People's Committee of Vi Thanh Ward.

Therefore, to thoroughly handle violations, the Department of Health requests the Chairman of the Ward People's Committee to pay attention and direct local functional forces to coordinate in implementing many contents.
Based on the proposal of the Department of Health, leaders of Vi Thanh Ward People's Committee said that they have directed the Ward Police force and related departments to directly request the facility to close and stop all medical examination and treatment activities according to the suspension period in the Penalty Decision.
Along with that, maintain periodic and unscheduled inspections at the establishment address.
