After that, Mr. Tuan submitted an apology and requested to revoke the Medal, explaining that the secretary had prepared the dossier and was busy with his work so he did not check, leading to incorrect declaration and assessment of the Party and lack of disciplinary notice to jointly reprimand the leaders of the Bach Mai Institute of Mental Health for the case of the prescription of functional foods.
