Starting 15/5, individuals who assault doctors or publish accusatory information regarding medical incidents without official conclusions will be fined between 30 and 40 million dong.
According to the Traffic Police Department, the proposal to increase fine authority by 15 times does not raise the fine amounts for individual violations, but rather expands the power to issue on-the-spot sanctions to simplify procedures for citizens.
Individuals, businesses, and healthcare workers face fines ranging from 1 million to 20 million dong for advertising, gifting, or providing misleading information about formula milk to pregnant women and new mothers.
