In a crackdown on illicit medical practices, China has shut down 5,088
illegal clinics within a span of three months, health authorities said.
According to a National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC)
statement, a year-long campaign was started in October, targeting
unlicensed clinics and unqualified doctors.
In the first three months, the authorities received 7,316 reports and
complaints from the public, out of which 6,538 have been settled, Xinhua
reported.
Health authorities at all levels investigated 30,462 cases of illegal
practices and revoked licenses of 121 medical and family planning
clinics for violations, the statement said.
The campaign was launched by six Chinese authorities, including the
NHFPC, the Ministry of Public Security and the health department with
the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Logistics Department.
