When a medical examination and treatment establishment fails to conduct a actual examination according to the requested contents, it still issues a health check report as usual to the examiner. In this case, will the establishment be sanctioned?

    • Are there penalties for providing health check report without performing the actual examination as requested in Vietnam?

      According to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 46 of Decree 117/2020/ND-CP on violations against regulations on health examination:

      1. A fine ranging from VND 3.000.000 to VND 5.000.000 shall be imposed for commission of one of the following violations:

      a) Providing health check report without performing the actual examination as requested;

      b) Classifying health unconformable with the health condition of the person undergoing heath check.

      In addition, Clause 5, Article 4 of Decree 117/2020/ND-CP also stipulates:

      5. The fines prescribed in Chapter II hereof are imposed on violating individuals. The fine imposed on an organization is twice as much as that imposed on an individual for the same administrative violation.

      Therefore, in case the health examination facility (organization) provides a health check report to the examiner but fails to perform the full examination as requested in Vietnam. It may be subject to a fine of from VND 6,000,000 to up to 10,000,000 VND.
