On the evening of July 11, Hanoi City Police announced that the Criminal Police Department had detained three suspects Nguyen Thi Thu Huong (45 years old, residing in Bach Mai, Hanoi), Le Cong Ngoi (41 years old, residing in Vinh Hung ward, Hanoi), and Nguyen Van Tam (42 years old, residing in Tran Phu commune, Hanoi) to investigate violations of regulations on medical examination, treatment, production, preparation, dispensing, and sale of drugs or other medical services.
According to the investigation, around March 2024, Nguyen Thi Thu Huong opened Thu Huong obstetrics and gynecology clinic at 44 Tho Nhuom (Cua Nam ward, Hanoi ) to examine and treat obstetrics and gynecology diseases and ultrasound.
To serve the clinic's operations, Huong hired doctors to examine and treat patients, and at the same time, colluded with Le Cong Ngoi and Nguyen Van Tam to act as "brokers" at the gate of the Central Maternity Hospital and K Hospital to bring customers to Huong's clinic.
At the hospital gate, Tam stood at the bus and taxi pick-up and drop-off point to pick up and lead the patient to where Ngoi was standing.
Ngoi wore a blue shirt similar to the one worn by a security guard or parking attendant at the Central Maternity Hospital to approach and solicit patients and give false information that the hospital was under repair.
If the patient wants to be examined, Ngoi will lead them to a private clinic outside with "Doctor Huong, an obstetrician at the Central Maternity Hospital".
When Ngoi and Tam bring customers to the clinic, Huong pays Ngoi and Tam 10% of the total amount that the patient has to pay to the clinic.
Police determined that as of July 2, 2025, 27 people came to Huong's clinic for medical examination, the total amount of money Huong collected from patients was 123 million VND.
Through verification, Nguyen Thi Thu Huong only studied in an intermediate nursing class. Huong is not a doctor, does not have a practice certificate, has not received any training or education related to medical examination, treatment, testing, or prescription, but still directly examines, tests, and prescribes medicine for patients.
Currently, the Hanoi City Police Investigation Agency is continuing to expand the investigation to strictly handle the suspects according to regulations.
