On 10/1, the Police Investigation Agency of Da Nang City Police announced additional charges in a criminal case regarding violations of accounting regulations causing serious consequences at the Da Nang International General Clinic, located at 180 Tran Phu, Hai Chau ward.

Nguyen Thi Van Anh, 31, residing in Lang Son province, the clinic's revenue and expenditure accountant, was identified as directly managing and creating two sets of irregular accounting books. This was done to legalize illegal revenue and expenditure. Her actions caused the state budget to lose over 3.9 billion dong in tax revenue. As she has fled her place of residence, the investigation agency has issued a special wanted notice for Van Anh.

In connection with the same case, Da Nang City Police are searching for three Chinese nationals: Li Hai Xia, Gu Shiping, and Zhang Xue Qin. This group of suspects is believed to be involved in the clinic's operational management, professional support, and financial activities. They are suspected of organizing illegal medical examinations and treatment, controlling finances, and using Vietnamese nationals as nominees to conceal violations.

Previously, in mid-2025, the Da Nang International General Clinic was charged with defrauding customers. Operating under the name Da Nang International General Hospital Joint Stock Company, the facility specialized in treating male reproductive health, female reproductive health, sexually transmitted diseases, and abortions.

However, the clinic housed an illegal medical examination and treatment ring, employing many individuals without degrees or practice certificates as "fake doctors." Police determined that some individuals had not completed 12th grade yet participated in consultations, examinations, and issued treatment orders.

To evade inspections, the clinic arranged a separate pathway to the basement for "fake doctors" to hide. Meanwhile, certified doctors were brought in as "stand-ins" despite rarely being present at the facility. According to the investigation agency, this scheme allowed the clinic to evade authorities multiple times.

Additionally, the facility was accused of fabricating illnesses and inflating service costs. Initially, customers were advised of costs ranging from a few hundred thousand dong to one million dong, but after procedures, they faced bills of 10 to 50 million dong. Staff often inflicted pain and threatened complications to coerce customers into high-priced treatment packages.

The investigation continues to expand, clarifying the responsibilities of involved individuals and organizations for legal processing. Police urge the public to provide any information or documents related to the suspects and the violations at this clinic.
