Ministry of Health requests clarification on death at Jangshi Luxury cosmetic clinic

Vietnam's Ministry of Health has directed the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health to swiftly investigate a reported fatality at the Jangshi Luxury specialized cosmetic clinic. The ministry also mandated strict penalties for any facilities found to be exceeding their authorized medical services.

The Ministry of Health received media reports concerning a death at the clinic, located at 70 Bach Dang Street, Tan Son Hoa Ward. According to the reports, clinic staff announced an emergency response for an unconscious individual. However, upon the arrival of the emergency team, the patient, identified as N.Q.T., a 24-year-old, had no pulse and dilated pupils. The medical team subsequently recorded the patient's death due to cardiac arrest outside the hospital.

The Ministry has urged the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health to thoroughly examine the allegations against Jangshi Luxury. If the clinic is found to have operated beyond its permitted scope of practice, the department is instructed to impose severe sanctions. Furthermore, the Ministry emphasized the need for increased inspections, audits, and public awareness campaigns to ensure all medical facilities adhere to legal regulations.

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health is required to submit its investigation findings to the Ministry of Health by August 26. Meanwhile, local police are also investigating the incident, with the victim's body sent for forensic examination to determine the cause of death. Initial reports suggest the deceased was an employee at a business within the same building as the clinic.
