News from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health Inspectorate said that the unit coordinated with the health department and functional forces of Binh Tan district to inspect a facility named "Dong Y Hong Ly" located at 517 Binh Thanh, Ward 2, Binh Hung Hoa B Ward.

At the time of inspection on December 26, 2024, the delegation recorded that at the above address, outside the gate there was a sign "Hong Ly Oriental Medicine: pulse taking - prescription - dispensing medicine - acupuncture - acupressure to treat diseases with oriental medicine products - infertility, early treatment of early stage cancers"...

However, Ms. LHL, the owner of the facility, did not cooperate with the inspection team, did not provide legal documents and did not sign the inspection report.

Through verification, Ms. L. was granted a license to practice medicine by the City Department of Health with the title of physician, and the scope of practice is traditional medicine. At the inspected address, the Department of Health has not granted a license to practice medicine, but has hung an unauthorized signboard, advertised without permission, and exaggerated professional capabilities.

Because Ms. L. did not comply with removing the illegal sign, did not cooperate and did not come to work at the Department Inspectorate, on December 31, 2024, the Department Inspectorate coordinated with local authorities to draw up a record of administrative violations at the facility.

Once again, Ms. LHL did not cooperate and did not sign the minutes, and also slammed the gate shut while the inspection team was working inside the facility.

Faced with acts of challenging state management agencies when violating regulations on unlicensed practice, the Department of Health requested the People's Committee of Binh Tan District to remove the signboard and closely monitor this address for unlicensed practice.
