On July 24, Deputy Director of the Da Nang Department of Health Mai Van Muoi signed a document to send to medical examination and treatment facilities in Da Nang city on strengthening the review, management, timely detection, reporting, and handling of disease-prone reptiles.
According to the Department of Health, disease-prone doctors are subjects (can be inside or outside medical examination and treatment facilities) who act as brokers, luring and guiding patients to medical examination and treatment at medical facilities according to agreements or for personal gain. This situation causes insecurity and disorder and affects the rights, quality of services, and people's trust in the health sector.
To ensure a civilized and transparent medical examination and treatment environment, avoiding negative situations, the Department of Health requires units to seriously review, evaluate, and report on the current situation of rat and rat disease examination and treatment at the unit and surrounding areas; clearly state the status, forms of subjects, and handling measures (if any).
Strengthen internal management and supervision through the security camera system; arrange personnel to supervise, direct cadres, civil servants, workers and security guards to be vigilant, monitor, promptly detect and handle game checkpoints, coordinate with police agencies to handle negative behaviors.
Propagate and disseminate to all civil servants, employees, patients and their families about violations related to rat pouncils for medical examination and treatment and current legal regulations.
Previously, as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, on July 23, on the Management page of Do Thi Da Nang: Tien Nghi - Xanh - Can - Gep, Ms. T.L. posted a clip with the content "Going to the doctor and being scammed, everyone be careful, I hope the police will see and destroy the scam broker ring".
In the clip, Ms. T.L. said that on the morning of July 21, she went to the Hai Chau Regional Medical Center at 38 Cao Thang (Hai Chau Ward, Da Nang) for a health check-up to supplement her application.
"Here, an employee said that the unit had temporarily stopped this type of health check-up and showed me to the opposite address, 39 Cao Thang. But when I passed by the road, I only saw a grocery store, not any clinic," Ms. T.L. told.
According to Ms. T.L., the tour guide followed her, confirming that this grocery store was the place to receive and invite her inside. Here, a woman named D., believed to be the grocery store owner, received Ms. T.L., asked for information about her height, weight, and myopia, and then collected 300,000 VND for a health check-up.
When she offered to get a refund of 100,000 VND because she was charged more, a woman named D. said: "I did this service to help my child quickly. She gave her child 50,000 VND. Because this is something she has to nurture many people. I also have to take my child." Ms. D. also affirmed that if she examines directly in a medical center, it will cost more than 380,000 VND.
After taking back 50,000 VND, Ms. T.L. to the police to report and was instructed to call the hotline of the Department of Health. After that, she posted a clip on social media to warn people.
