On June 13, Ms. Vi Thi Thanh, Chairwoman of the People's Committee of Pha Danh Commune (Ky Son, Nghe An ), said that the results of the review showed that people in 9/10 villages of this locality had purchased Bao Minh pills and An Binh bone and joint pills.
This is a health care product that the group of people in white coats sold to people during previous health consultation sessions.
"We are handing over specific data on the products people have purchased to the commune police to compile," said Ms. Thanh.

As Dan Tri reported on June 11, a group of people wearing white coats and carrying ultrasound machines went to villages in Pha Danh commune to conduct health checks for people.
Here, the group introduced two products, Bao Minh pills and An Binh bone and joint pills, priced at 700,000 VND/box, with a 50% discount, inviting people to buy.
Many people, after getting their health checked, thought the people above were doctors and were getting a discount on the product, so they spent money to buy it.
According to the leader of Pha Danh Commune People's Committee, the above group of people belongs to Viet My International Investment and Consulting Joint Stock Company (headquartered in Hanoi ). This group came to meet local leaders, presented the plan for consulting on health surveys, coordinating community health care...
In this plan, the company will perform thyroid ultrasound; support free general abdominal ultrasound; support bone density testing and measurement; consult and introduce product categories in the project list of the Ministry of Health .
Previously, the Ky Son District Health Department sent an official dispatch to the communes to notify and monitor the advertising and product introduction activities of the Viet My International Investment and Consulting Joint Stock Company.

In this document, the District Health Department requested that localities immediately stop organizing introduction activities when detecting signs of introducing and advertising products that are not in accordance with the content confirmed by the Food Safety Department, taking advantage of product introduction seminars to illegally examine and treat diseases, provide advice, sell and introduce functional foods as medicines in the area...
After checking the plan and comparing related documents, the representative of the People's Committee of Pha Danh commune signed and stamped the health consultation and survey plan, introducing health protection products in the area of the above company.
Since June 11, this group of people in white coats and ultrasound machines have gone to villages in Pha Danh commune to check, consult, and invite people to buy health protection products Bao Minh pills and An Binh bone and joint pills under the promotion "buy all, pay half".
In the previous dispatch of the Ky Son District Health Department, this company was consulted and introduced to the Hoan My bone and joint health food. Regarding the Bao Minh pill product, the information on the box is not consistent with the information in the product declaration that this company provided to the authorities.
The fact that a company licensed to advertise but also engaged in medical examination and selling health care products to people has raised concerns among the public. Many people have also expressed doubts about the quality of the products the company has sold to people when they are not consistent with the products declared in the dossier.
A representative of the Nghe An Department of Health said that up to this point, the unit has not received any documents related to the health examination and check-up activities of the Viet My International Investment and Consulting Joint Stock Company.
According to this leader, activities related to ultrasound, examination, and measurement of bone density are medical examination activities. The implementation of these activities must be licensed by the Department of Health, and the person performing them must have a medical practice license.
"The Department has sent a working group to verify and inspect. When we have complete information, we will provide it to the press," said a representative of the Nghe An Department of Health.
