He pointed out that with the implementation of the new company law, the commercial activities and professional ethics of medical staff are subject to stricter legal scrutiny.

Starting from specific behaviors, Lawyer Chen pointed out the possible criminal charges and then explained them. Lawyer Chen’s presentation effectively helped the attendees understand the elements of these legal provisions and their impact on medical staff, emphasizing the importance of enhancing legal compliance awareness to protect their own rights and the rights of medical institutions.
In addition, Lawyer Chen used data analysis to show the frequently involved criminal offenses by medical staff in recent years and their regional distribution. He pointed out that under the background of the implementation of both laws, if medical staff engage in similar business activities without permission, they may be guilty of illegal business operations in similar industries. At the same time, he reminded medical staff to avoid using their positions to gain benefits for relatives and friends or accept bribes in their daily work.
