Following the incident of "the president of the hospital sold the biomedical certificate", recently, Shangguan Zhengyi, a volunteer for the abduction, once again broke the news that Guangxi Xinghui Health Management Consulting had carried out illegal business and other behaviors. In an unannounced visit provided by Shangguan Zhengyi, Huang, who claimed to be the company's "legal person", said that the total price was 880,000 yuan. Previously, the local health supervision office had received reports about the company, but the investigation found that the company had been closed. (Red Star News, December 18).
For **, China has always expressly prohibited it, but the company involved is said to be a local "senior" ** intermediary. Shangguan Zhengyi alone has mastered a number of test tube and ** contracts signed by the company and customers. According to one of the contracts, in addition to IVF services, the company also provides third-party assisted reproduction services, which are **.
Shangguan Zhengyi showed a contract signed in June (Source: Red Star News).
In addition, Huang also said that the company's business covers the national market, and the first preliminary examination is completed in the green channel of public hospitals, and customers can also make appointments with doctors in their local hospitals. This begs the question of whether the company is indeed as "strong" as it claims to beIf this is the case, the scope of the gray industry chain behind it is unimaginable.
It is reported that in June this year, 14 departments, including the National Health Commission and the Political and Legal Commission, jointly issued the "Work Plan for Carrying out Special Activities to Crack Down on the Illegal Application of Human Assisted Reproductive Technology", and carried out special activities to crack down on the illegal application of human assisted reproductive technology across the country. Since the "thunder" of Jianqiao Hospital in Xiangyang, Hubei Province in November has attracted attention, some hospitals, laboratories and intermediaries have also been investigated and punished for engaging in illegal **. It can be said that at present, the state has cracked down on illegal and criminal acts related to birth medical certificates.
Under such a high-pressure situation, the company involved still knows the law and violates the law and takes risks, which is nothing more than the greed for money and interests. And if what Huang said is true, then those hospitals and doctors in his company's ** business chain, "businessmen" with the halo of saving lives and helping the injured, must also be seriously held accountable in accordance with laws and regulations.
It should be noted that the company involved may be trying to escape liability by "rubbing the edges" of the company's registration. The reporter inquired and learned that the company's business scope does not include medical services. "We are an information company, and I am only responsible for recommending", Huang denied that he was involved**. When Shangguan Zhengyi reported the company's over-operation to the local market supervision bureau, he got the advice to complain to 12315.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the ambiguity of regulation that the company involved dares to conduct business in such a blatant manner. In the above-mentioned special activity plan to crack down on the illegal application of human assisted reproductive technology, it is clearly pointed out that the business behavior of enterprises shall be strictly regulated, and "the scope of key investigation and registration shall be medical services, health consultation, maternal and child health care and other companies." Obviously, the company involved is not within the scope of the investigation.
The plan also clarifies the working mechanism for improving the division of labor and cooperation, and requires a total of 12 departments headed by the health department to work together to strictly supervise law enforcement. However, the division of labor and cooperation is not in charge of each department, but no matter which department receives clues, it should be the responsibility to record, investigate, and communicate and share information with relevant departments at the first time. Only in this way will the first-class intermediaries of similar companies involved not be allowed to "slip through the net", and it will be possible to wipe out the gray industry chain behind them.
For reports with evidence and clues, the relevant departments should not only thoroughly investigate individual cases, but also go beyond individual cases, and carry out special activities in depth and in a down-to-earth manner. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen publicity and guidance, mobilize more people to participate in the crackdown on illegal activities, and resolutely resist becoming a tool for reproductive exploitation.
