Traditional Medicine Clinic Licensing Services

Traditional Medicine Clinic Licensing Services are vital legal procedures. These services ensure clinics operate in compliance with Vietnamese law. The licensing process demands strict adherence to specific conditions regarding physical infrastructure, medical equipment, and qualified personnel. A comprehensive understanding of current legal regulations is a fundamental prerequisite for obtaining an Operating License. This document provides a detailed analysis of the Traditional Medicine Clinic Licensing Services and the associated regulatory framework.

The Process for Traditional Medicine Clinic Licensing Services

Securing an Operating License for a traditional medicine clinic in Vietnam requires meticulous compliance with prevailing legal statutes. Numerous legislative documents govern this procedure. For a traditional medicine clinic to receive its Operating License, the establishment must fully satisfy all stipulated conditions for infrastructure, medical equipment, and human resources. Long Phan Consulting Company offers a detailed examination of each critical aspect involved in Traditional Medicine Clinic Licensing Services.

Dossier Components for Traditional Medicine Clinic Operating License

To initiate the application for an Operating License for a traditional medicine diagnosis and treatment clinic, clients must prepare a complete dossier. This dossier must align with the provisions of Clause 1, Article 60, Decree 96/2023/ND-CP.

A complete dossier includes:

• An application form (Form 02, Appendix II, Decree 96/2023/ND-CP).
• A valid certified copy of the establishment decision or a document bearing the name of the healthcare facility issued by a competent state agency for state-owned healthcare facilities; or a Business Registration Certificate for private healthcare facilities; or an Investment Certificate for foreign-invested healthcare facilities.
• Valid certified copies of the Practicing Certificate and a confirmation of the practice duration of the individual professionally responsible for the healthcare facility (not applicable if these documents are connected and shared on the Information System for Management of Medical Examination and Treatment Activities or the national health database).
• Valid certified copies of the Practicing Certificate and a confirmation of the practice duration of the head of a specialized department within the healthcare facility (not applicable if these documents are connected and shared on the Information System for Management of Medical Examination and Treatment Activities or the national health database).
• A declaration of physical infrastructure, a list of medical equipment, and a list of personnel meeting the conditions for an Operating License corresponding to each organizational form, along with supporting documents to verify these declarations.
• A list specifying the full name and Practicing Certificate number of each practitioner registered at the facility.
• The proposed list of specialized technical services for the healthcare facility, based on the technical service categories issued by the Minister of Health.
• For initial applications for an Operating License for a humanitarian healthcare facility or a non-profit healthcare facility, documents proving financial resources to ensure humanitarian or non-profit medical examination and treatment activities are required. The meticulous preparation of these documents is a core component of Traditional Medicine Clinic Licensing Services.

Authority for Issuing Traditional Medicine Clinic Operating Licenses

The competent authority for issuing Operating Licenses for traditional medicine clinics is the Department of Health of the province or centrally-run city where the clinic is located. In specific instances, the Ministry of Health may be the licensing authority for healthcare facilities under the Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Public Security, or other specialized medical establishments. Navigating these authorities is a key part of the Traditional Medicine Clinic Licensing Services.

Procedure for Traditional Medicine Clinic Operating License Issuance

Step 1: Dossier Submission and Fee Payment

The applicant organization submits one complete dossier for a new license application. The applicant also pays the prescribed fees and charges to the competent licensing authority (hereinafter referred to as the licensing authority).

Step 2: Dossier Reception and Appraisal

Upon receiving the dossier, the receiving authority issues a dossier receipt slip to the applicant facility.

• If no dossier amendments or supplements are required:

  • The licensing authority will organize an appraisal of the operating conditions and the list of technical services at the applicant facility. An appraisal record will be prepared within 60 days from the date on the dossier receipt slip.
  • If no amendments or supplements are mandated, a new Operating License will be issued. A decision approving the list of technical services will be issued within 10 working days from the date of the appraisal record.
  • If amendments or supplements are mandated, these must be clearly stated in the appraisal record.

  Within 10 working days of receiving written notification and supporting documents confirming completion of rectification by the applicant facility, the licensing authority may conduct an actual inspection of the rectification if necessary or proceed with issuing the Operating License. If the Operating License is not granted, a written response stating the reasons must be provided.

• If dossier amendments or supplements are required:

  • The licensing authority must send a written notification to the applicant facility. This notification must specify the documents and content requiring amendment or supplementation within 10 days from the date on the dossier receipt slip.
  • After amending and supplementing the dossier, the applicant facility submits a written notification and supporting documents confirming completion.
  • Upon receiving the amended and supplemented dossier, the licensing authority will proceed according to the prescribed procedure. This detailed procedural support is integral to Traditional Medicine Clinic Licensing Services.

Step 3: Publication on the Healthcare Management System

Within 05 working days from the date of issuing the Operating License, the licensing authority will publish the following information on its electronic portal and the Information System for Management of Medical Examination and Treatment Activities: name and address of the licensed facility; full name and Practicing Certificate number of the person professionally responsible; Operating License number; scope of professional activities; and operating hours.

Risks of Operating an Unlicensed Traditional Medicine Clinic

Operating a traditional medicine clinic without a valid Operating License is a serious violation of the law, entailing numerous legal risks and negative consequences. Regulations on Operating License issuance aim to ensure the quality of medical examination and treatment services, protect public health, and maintain order in the healthcare sector. Ignoring these legal procedures not only damages reputation but also leads to legal sanctions.

• Legal Risk of Administrative Penalties: According to Decrees on administrative penalties in the health sector, clinics operating without a license can face substantial fines, potentially hundreds of millions of VND, depending on the severity of the violation and scale of operation. Additionally, the facility will face operational suspension, confiscation of infringing materials and means, and possible revocation of its business license (if any).
• Criminal Risk: If an unlicensed clinic causes serious health consequences or fatalities due to lack of expertise, substandard facilities, or use of medicines of unknown origin, the responsible individuals may face criminal prosecution for offenses related to violations of medical examination and treatment regulations. Penalties can include imprisonment and other supplementary punishments.
• Reputational and Business Risk: An unlicensed clinic will not be recognized by state management agencies and will have no legal right to provide medical services. This severely impacts patient trust, causing significant damage to the clinic’s reputation and development potential. Furthermore, an unlicensed clinic cannot participate in health insurance programs, is not permitted to advertise its services, and will face difficulties collaborating with other healthcare partners.
• Risk to Patients: Unlicensed clinics often fail to meet conditions for hygiene, medical equipment, and personnel qualifications. This can lead to misdiagnosis, ineffective treatment, or even harm to patient health. In case of medical incidents, patients will face difficulties claiming their legal rights as the clinic lacks legal standing. Avoiding these risks is a key benefit of using professional Traditional Medicine Clinic Licensing Services.
