Every year, the Quy Hop District Interdisciplinary Inspection Team conducts periodic inspections twice and coordinates with Market Management Team No. 9 stationed in the area to conduct inspections of private medical and pharmaceutical establishments in the area. Since the beginning of the year, Quy Hop has inspected 22 establishments, handled 16 establishments and suspended 1 private medical and pharmaceutical establishment, with a total fine of 27 million VND.

However, according to the assessment of this locality, because the district's interdisciplinary inspection team works part-time; the district's health department's human resources are still lacking and since May 2013 there has been no department head; some remote communes have not paid much attention to the inspection and examination of medical practice, so the inspection and examination work still faces many difficulties.

Comrade Vo Sy Son - Vice Chairman of Quy Hop District People's Committee spoke at the meeting.

At the working session, members of the monitoring delegation of the Provincial People's Council's Culture and Social Affairs Committee raised a number of issues through monitoring such as: the area and signs of drug counters and agents do not comply with regulations; pharmacists do not wear blouses or name tags.

In particular, according to the report of the People's Committee of Quy Hop district, there are 16 private medical establishments in the area, of which 4 establishments do not have a practice license and 73 drug counters and agents. However, according to the survey team of the Department of Culture and Society, this figure is different from the data reported by the Department of Health to the Provincial People's Council.

The Department of Culture and Society, Provincial People's Council supervises the pharmacy in Quy Hop district.

Concluding the working session, comrade Ho Phuc Hop suggested that Quy Hop district rebuild a complete and detailed report on the management of private medical and pharmaceutical practices in the area and send it to the Culture - Social Affairs Committee and the Provincial People's Council; re-check the number of private medical and pharmaceutical practices in the area to unify reporting data as well as carry out State management work.

In addition, the Head of the Culture - Social Committee, Provincial People's Council requested the district to have synchronous solutions and coordinate well with the interdisciplinary team to effectively carry out inspection and examination work in this field, especially strengthening inspection and examination after licensing.

Comrade Ho Phuc Hop concluded the working session.

At the end of the working session, on behalf of the district leaders, comrade Vo Sy Son - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quy Hop district received the opinions of the survey team and affirmed that he would promote the management of private medical and pharmaceutical practice in the district in the coming time.
