Anti-counterfeiting labels curb illegal medical practice

In order to effectively prevent black clinics from harming people and safeguard people’s rights and interests in medical treatment, Wuhu City issued unified anti-counterfeiting labels to legal clinics

Wuhu Citizens If you want to find a qualified and legal clinic for medical treatment, the identification method is very simple. See if there is an anti-counterfeiting label issued by the health administration department in front of the clinic - a light box with a unified logo. This graphic logo composed of a red cross and a green house not only provides a protective umbrella for citizens to protect their own rights and interests when seeking medical treatment, but has also become the nemesis of illegal medical practitioners.

Black clinics that illegally practice medicine harm the people and cause both physical and psychological pain to the patients. Due to the cunning and erratic methods of illegal medical practitioners, some people are often deceived and unable to provide evidence and find it difficult to defend their rights. In order to effectively crack down on illegal medical practice, Wuhu City's health administration department has innovative ideas and explored the establishment of a long-term supervision mechanism that focuses on both prevention and control. In October 2009, the city's health department publicly solicited unified anti-counterfeiting signs for individual clinics through a prize-based collection method, and the final plan was determined after expert review. In April last year, all individual clinics in the city adopted unified anti-counterfeiting signs for individual clinics. Since then, this red + green abstract anti-counterfeiting pattern has begun to enter the lives of citizens. The clinic's anti-counterfeiting number is clearly marked on each sign light box. Based on the anti-counterfeiting number, citizens can go online to check the names, practice qualifications and other relevant information of doctors in each clinic. Currently, all 151 legal individual clinics in the city have affixed such anti-counterfeiting labels. Black clinics that could not be identified by citizens in the past will soon have no market.

At the same time, the city has established an information database for unlicensed medical practice, blacklisting illegal medical practitioners, and announcing them in the anti-counterfeiting system of the Municipal Health Supervision Office, allowing city, county, and district information exchange and Maximum sharing of resources; increase the transfer of illegal medical practice cases. Anyone who practices medicine illegally again after being given two administrative penalties within the municipal area will be transferred to the public security organs for handling in accordance with the law; further improve the complaint and report acceptance system, and provide health administrative departments with To crack down on illegal medical practice, we must have clairvoyance and ears. The city's health department has also specially formulated the "Interim Measures for Rewards for Reporting Illegal Medical Practicing Behaviors", which will be used to report illegal activities such as carrying out diagnostic and treatment activities without a "Medical Institution Practice License", identifying the gender of the fetus for non-medical needs, and gender-selective termination of pregnancy. If it is true, the reporter will be given a reward of 500 yuan to 1,000 yuan. So far, the city's health administration department has accepted 24 reports of illegal medical practice from the public, greatly improving the efficiency of cracking down on illegal medical practice.
