| The Ministry of Health (MOH) recently
published the "On-line Medical and Health Information Service
Management Method" in order to standardize these activities on
the Internet.
The MOH requires that medical information websites
must be approved by the health administrative department before
applying for the operation license. The Method provides that all
the health information websites are forbidden to engage in on-line
diagnosis and treatment except for providing health consulting service,
and the long-distance medical consultation via the Internet, as
a kind of medical behavior, can only be conducted among medical
institutions with operational licenses.
