The delegation has drawn up a record to suspend the operation of the Saigon Dental Clinic in Block 10, Do Luong Town due to violating regulations on operating conditions and not having a medical license. The delegation has reminded a number of medical examination and treatment facilities that still lack medical equipment and records according to regulations.

According to the plan, in the coming time, the interdisciplinary delegation of the People's Committee of Do Luong district will continue to inspect and punish non-public medical and pharmaceutical establishments that do not meet the operating conditions.
