This information was provided by the Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, Tang Chi Thuong, on the morning of July 23rd, after the department's inspection and legal affairs division conducted an investigation based on information received from the public.
Previously, on July 17th, after receiving complaints from residents about suspected cases of "inventing illnesses," the Department of Health inspected the multi-specialty clinic belonging to Viet Khang Thu Duc Multi-Specialty Clinic Co., Ltd. (address: 83C Dang Van Bi Street, Thu Duc Ward).
Inspections have revealed that this clinic shows signs of "fabricating illnesses." The department is currently coordinating with the Ho Chi Minh City Police to investigate and take strict action if sufficient evidence of violations is found.
Recently, the multi-specialty clinic belonging to Viet Khang Thu Duc Multi-Specialty Clinic Co., Ltd. has been identified as a hotspot in medical examination and treatment activities, frequently receiving complaints from the public about "inventing illnesses and extorting money".
This clinic often employs a "fabricating illnesses to extort money" tactic by offering low-cost examinations, but then the clinic staff repeatedly inform patients of additional illnesses and request numerous services, causing costs to skyrocket. In some cases, the cost can reach tens of millions of dong.
The Department of Health, in coordination with the City Police, will verify and handle violations by relevant organizations and individuals, and the results of the handling will be publicly available on the department's electronic portal.
Don't rush to spend money if you suspect you're being scammed with fabricated illnesses to extort money.
The Department of Health advises people to carefully check information when choosing a place for medical examination and to look up necessary information about clinics on the "Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health's Medical and Pharmaceutical Practice Lookup Portal" (https://tracuu.medinet.org.vn).
Do not rush to pay unusual or unclear fees, and if you suspect you are being scammed or extorted, immediately call the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health hotline: 0967.771.010 and 0989.401.155 or report through the "Online Health" application so that the Department of Health can have the information and promptly detect and handle the matter according to regulations.
