Strictly handle Hoan Cau General Clinic for signs of "faking illness and extorting money"

The initial consultation was for a low-cost abortion, but during the procedure, the patient felt a lot of pain and was asked to switch to a premium service package at a cost of 29.8 million VND... That is the recent reflection of people through the hotline of the Inspection and Legal Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health about the signs of "faking illness and extorting money" from Hoan Cau General Clinic.

On August 25, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health announced that recently the Department's Inspection and Legal Department (formerly the Department of Health Inspectorate) together with Obstetrics, Surgery and Dermatology experts from city hospitals coordinated with the People's Committee of Cho Lon Ward to inspect the General Clinic of Hoan Cau Medical Services One Member Co., Ltd. (address 80-82 Chau Van Liem, Cho Lon Ward, Ho Chi Minh City).

Through the inspection, the Delegation discovered that the clinic provided medical examination and treatment services beyond the scope of its expertise (abortion at 7 weeks and 5 days) and advertised in violation of regulations. According to the report of Dr. NTN, the person performing the vacuum aspiration abortion used the drug Seduxen as a pre-anesthetic for the patient, but the medical record did not show it, and the prescription in the medical record did not match the drug that the patient provided information to the Inspection and Legal Department.

Hoan Cau General Clinic is one of the clinics on the "black list" of the Department of Health for repeated violations.

In addition, according to records kept at the Department of Health of Binh Duong province (old), Dr. NTN was found to have 2 certificates of practice in medical examination and treatment with the scope of professional activities being specialized medical examination and treatment in Obstetrics and Family Planning, these certificates were issued by the Department of Health of Hai Phong City on October 15, 2013 and the Department of Health of Hanoi City on April 12, 2019.

On June 16, 2023, the Hanoi Department of Health inspected and suspended the technical professional activities of doctor NTN for performing medical examination and treatment beyond the scope of professional activities (certificate issued by the Hanoi Department of Health). In October 2023, this doctor used the practice certificate issued by the Hai Phong Department of Health to perform an abortion at 21 weeks and 6 days at a general clinic in Binh Duong province (old).

The Inspection and Legal Department of the Department of Health continues to invite representatives of Hoan Cau Medical Services One Member Co., Ltd., Dr. NTN and related individuals to work, clarify related contents, synthesize records, strictly handle administrative violations against organizations and individuals in accordance with legal regulations, the handling results are made public on the Department of Health's electronic information portal.

The clinic of Hoan Cau Medical Services One Member Co., Ltd. is one of the clinics on the "black list" of the Inspection and Legal Department because it has repeatedly violated and failed to comply with legal regulations, seriously affecting the rights, health and safety of patients.
