Các bệnh viện ở TPHCM tiếp tục phát cảnh báo nóng - 1 — The post used images and the name of Children's Hospital 1 to falsely advertise recruitment (Photo: Hospital).

On a fake fan page featuring the text and logo of "Children's Hospital 1" and thousands of followers, the perpetrators posted job advertisements for numerous positions such as nurses, accountants, medical secretaries, college-level pharmacists, doctors in various specialties, and even a Head of Human Resources.

In the post, viewers are enticed to download an application called "Zoom Insider…", register a personal account, and connect to a strange email address to supplement their profile and participate in an "online preliminary selection".

This poses a risk that registrants may have their information exposed, or even have their personal information stolen for malicious purposes.

Children's Hospital 1 has confirmed that all of the aforementioned job postings are fake. The hospital advises applicants to pay attention to key information when applying for positions.

Firstly, the unit currently only recruits through the official website of Children's Hospital 1 (https://nhidong.org.vn2), through the official email of the human resources department (p.tccb@nhidong.org.vn3) or the recruitment phone number of the human resources department is (028) 392709804.

The unit only accepts applications directly at the Personnel Department, not through any intermediaries or individuals. Citizens need to be vigilant to avoid being exploited.

At Children's Hospital 2, a recent warning was issued regarding false information soliciting support for pediatric patients.

According to the hospital, recently, information and images of a child named TLMA (born in 2022, residing in Lam Dong province) have been posted on social media, discussing the child's treatment process and appealing for community support.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy, Deputy Head of the Gastroenterology Department at Children's Hospital 2, said the child was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The child had received treatment at the department several times and had health insurance, so the cost of treatment was not as high as the fundraising posts suggested.

"Following this incident, we would like to inform our esteemed donors and social media users to be vigilant and avoid being exploited by individuals who seek to profit from sentimental content!"

Dear benefactors, if you wish to support pediatric patients at the hospital, please contact the Poor Patient Assistance Team, Social Work Department, Children's Hospital 2 via hotline 028.38295723 (extension 295), available during office hours from Monday to Friday.

"We will provide information on cases that have been accurately and clearly verified," the pediatric specialist hospital in Ho Chi Minh City instructed.

Earlier, in mid-September, representatives from the Social Work Department of Children's Hospital 1 warned about the discovery of a fan page using the entire name, logo, and images of the institution.

The aforementioned fan page used images and information about a severely ill child, along with sentimental phrases like "save my child," "so tragic," etc., to post messages and solicit donations to a personal account named "DO TRONG HUY."

Representatives from Children's Hospital 1 confirmed that the fanpage in question is fake and that the hospital does not use personal bank accounts to solicit donations for pediatric patients.

The Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital, Thu Duc General Hospital, and Ho Chi Minh City Dental and Maxillofacial Hospital have also announced that they have discovered several fake fan pages impersonating these institutions, aiming to mislead the community for personal gain.

At Cho Ray Hospital, the unit even received some complaints from people registering to donate organs and tissues about individuals posing as hospital staff calling them and demanding a fee in order to receive a registration card delivered by the post office .

The Organ Transplant Coordination Unit of Cho Ray Hospital has contacted the post office to verify and resolve the incident completely, in order to prevent similar acts from occurring in the future.
