Shijiazhuang responds to the issue of health certificate being issued for money: case filed for investigation and order to stop related business.
On January 10th, the news reported that “Are you offering health certificates for money? Not healthy!” This report pointed out that some people who claimed to be “health certificate handlers” do not verify the identity of those who are taking the physical examination. The physical examination items for health certificates are incomplete, and offering money in exchange for a health certificate has become a lucrative business.
After the report was broadcast, Shijiazhuang City established a joint investigation team consisting of health and wellness, market supervision, and local parties involved to quickly conduct an investigation. The relevant situation is reported as follows:
After investigation, it is true that Donglin Hospital, Zhongbao Physical Examination, Shunkang Hospital, and Zhongshan Donglu Community Health Service Center have violated regulations in handling health certificates. The investigation has filed a case against the medical institutions involved, and ordered them to immediately stop handling health certificate-related business. The health certificates handled by the institutions involved will be carefully reviewed one by one, and the relevant responsible persons will be dealt with severely according to laws and regulations.
