Health certificates are mandatory for out-of-pocket brothers, catering attendants, etc., but interviews with journalists have revealed that some workers are able to obtain certificates without a medical examination without having to pay an intermediary to save money. The broker stated that there was cooperation with the hospital, which stated that no individual or group was authorized to obtain a health certificate. There is a perception among industry that health certificates are electronic or can close loopholes. At the same time, a number of exemptions for preventive medical examinations have been introduced to address the issue of intermediary certification。
“a photo of the identity card on the back of its face and a photo of it in an inch of its white background, so that a person can obtain a health certificate without having to go to the hospital.” in recent days, hossein, who worked as a dessert baker in the tondai district of beijing, told the journalist that he had not performed any medical examinations and had received a health certificate “for example” for only $100。
"the original price is $135. We're working with four people. Hosen said that he had previously obtained health certificates from hospitals near his place of work every year, and had been busy and lazy this year, and had sought an intermediary for the certification online. The broker promised that his health certificates would not only be identical in appearance to those of real health, but could also be checked for authenticity。
In order to protect the health of workers and clients, the relevant national laws and regulations require specific workers working in food, drinking water production, cosmetics production and public services to undergo preventive medical examinations and health certificates in places of competence prior to their arrival. How do you get a health certificate without a medical examination? Is such a health certificate a lie? How can it be closed? An interview was conducted by the workers ' daily journalist。
Sending information and paying ids for about three days. Hands
Following the contact information provided by hosen, the journalist contacted lui, the intermediary who was handling the health certificate. According to the other party, the information was sent, paid, and the documents were available for approximately three days, including a health certificate for practitioners in beijing and a training certificate in health regulations。
When asked about the authenticity of the documents, lu chi indicated that the appearance was the same as the actual one, and that the inside of the hospital was being searched. “at times, six or seven copies can be delivered to the outsiders, ktv and the catering services. There's a lot of old clients. It's safe to say, it's available in the normal unit."
Hossein told journalists that he had chosen to seek an intermediary for health certificates online, either for convenience or for imprescriptible inspection. “the person examined only looked at it, not to mention that the two-dimensional scan on this document would present the relevant information.”
The two-dimensional code described by lui and hossen is located above the health card card and is followed by a form showing personal information, the status of the examination project, the name and official seal of the medical institution, the date of the report, etc。
"if you want to be more real, you can pay $150 for the online search. He then sent a link to the journalist, which was examined by the journalist and confirmed that he had consulted the website for the medical examination of practitioners in beijing。
Before that, sun tsai, who had been working at one of the beijing groups, had also spent $150 on a health certificate in lu, which was available on the website of a medical examination of practitioners in beijing. The journalist contacted sun ki, confirming the incident。
The certification agency says you can't get a certificate until you've done the required check
If you don't do any tests, you can get a health certificate and you can check the truth. Upon further inquiry from the journalist, lui revealed: “because of his cooperation with the hospital, most of the money collected was given to the hospital, and i only made a few dozen dollars from the margin. For example, when someone else orders, i contact the hospital to certify, send it out, and i charge $150, 120 to the hospital, and the rest to myself.”
The reporter called lu's “cooperative” beijing guangji medical complex. The hospital staff stated that the hospital did have a health certificate operation, but did not cooperate with any individual or team, and that all persons required to obtain a health certificate were required to complete the required examination at the hospital before they could obtain it。
“there was a complaint at the hospital last year that we had a false health certificate and that, about six months ago, there was also a response to this problem, and we all called the police, and the police came to the hospital to investigate the evidence and wait for the results.” the above-mentioned staff members indicated that since they did not know who did these documents and could not be held accountable, they could only remind those who needed them to go directly to the hospital and not trust the broker。
The reporter contacted another medical institution, yongkang clinic, inc., which is “cooperative” with lu, beijing. The operator indicated that he had to bring his identity card to the scene in order to obtain a health certificate at a price of $96。
Sun kei, the director of ga-chung law office in beijing, informed journalists that it would be illegal to produce a health certificate involving a medical certificate for the sale of goods without a physical examination. “the sale of false health certificates is a criminal offence under which fraud is suspected. If the documents are authentic, they are simply not physically checked and are in violation of the laws or administrative regulations relating to health.”
In september last year, the inspection of the health certificates issued by the beijing municipal market supervisory authority for employees of catering services in the districts showed that a total of 2567 households had been inspected, 11 violations of the use of false health certificates had been investigated and 37 persons holding false certificates had been placed in administrative detention by the public security authorities。
Lui also stated that he was aware that the chargé d'affaires health certificate was an irregularity, “sometimes it's easy to make extra money, do more, and sooner or later”. He therefore only uses it as a side job。
Health certificates are electronic or can block a leak. Hole
In his interview, zheng xue zheng, vice-president of the chinese society for health law, stated that most of the demand for health certificates was for service providers, who had health relations with public health safety. “health certificates prove that the worker is in good health and that he or she is able to provide services well and that he or she is able to obtain a health certificate if he or she is not examined, and that there is a risk of transmission of the infection.”
Under the food safety act, food producers who work in contact with directly imported food products are required to undergo an annual health check and obtain a health certificate before they can be placed on duty。
“if the certificate broker provides a false health certificate, it is liable if found. If the broker does cooperate with the hospital, the hospital is also operating illegally and is suspected of having bought or sold a health certificate and is liable for it.” zheng xianxi said。
In order to close the health certificate gap, zheng xin zheng suggested, on the one hand, that efforts could be made to digitize the health certificate and, by leaving a mark on the medical examination, the supervisor could trace the process and the person responsible. On the other hand, the management of hospitals has been strengthened and appropriate systems have been put in place, such as the disqualification of hospitals from obtaining health certificates if they are found to be engaged in the sale or sale of health certificates. At the same time, the law is being strengthened through a variety of monitoring methods, such as the opening of telephone calls and occasional spot checks。
In the view of sun, hospitals should be better managed, health certificates must be issued in a single form by the prescribed department and must be based on a corresponding diagnosis or examination, and the relevant department must be supervised and managed. “the issue of intermediary certification can also be addressed to a certain extent in recent years in the context of the health check-up reduction policy being implemented in some places.”
In recent years, a number of municipalities have carried out preventive examinations free of charge, including in chongqing, shenzhen, changchun and wuhan. In november of last year, the beijing city health and welfare commission, among others, issued a circular on the further development of preventive medical examinations and the reduction of the cost of medical examinations for practitioners. It specified that, as of 1 january 2023, persons who had access to directly imported food, directly engaged in cosmetics production, etc., would be provided with relief for preventive medical examinations。
“providing health certificates free of charge, with strict registration and management systems, does play a regulatory role. In addition, an effective certification system will be put in place, whereby the medical examination body can design the signing of a commitment for the medical examination process and manage the archives.” zheng xianxi said。
