Some "internet celebrity doctors" use the guise of popular science to make money, the National Health Commission will increase efforts to rectify this.

Currently, popular topics on short video platforms include medical science popularization, with more and more doctors using live streaming and short videos to disseminate health knowledge. However, some "internet celebrity doctors" use medical science popularization as a tool for profit, abusing their professional authority to endorse themselves, engaging in illegal practices such as guiding diagnosis and treatment, online consultations, offline patient referrals, live stream marketing, and even selling expensive medications. Some also mislead the public and make profits by exaggerating treatment effects, fabricating case studies, and concocting stories. The National Health Commission reminds everyone that these actions seriously violate relevant laws and regulations on internet diagnosis and treatment management and advertising management. Please do not easily believe in them and prevent being deceived. According to relevant regulations, patients must complete their initial consultation at a physical medical institution offline and receive a clear diagnosis before seeking follow-up consultations from qualified internet hospitals. Life is not a game, and medical quality and safety are the bottom line. Everyone can visit the official website of the National Health Commission's "Services" section to access information on medical institutions nationwide. In the next step, the Commission will work together with relevant departments to increase efforts in rectifying the chaos in internet health science popularization and safeguard the health rights and interests of the people.
