Are doctors required to sign and clearly state their full name when prescribing medication?

In Article 6 of Circular 18/2018/TT-BYT, amended by Clause 1, Article 1 of Circular 18/2018/TT-BYT, there are regulations regarding the general requirements for prescription content as follows:

- Clearly, fully, and accurately record the items printed on the Prescription or in the patient's medical record.

- Record the permanent or temporary address of the patient: house number, street, neighborhood or hamlet/village/sub-hamlet, commune/ward/commune-level town, district/district-level town/city under the province, province/city.

- For children under 72 months of age, record the number of months old, weight, name of the father or mother of the child or the person bringing the child for medical examination and treatment.

- Record the name of the drug, concentration/content, quantity/volume, dosage, route of administration, time of administration of each type of medicine. If the prescription includes poisonous drugs, the poisonous drugs must be recorded before other drugs.

- The quantity of narcotic drugs must be written in words, with the first letter capitalized.

- The quantity of drugs that is a single digit (less than 10) should be prefixed with a zero.

- In case of amendments to the prescription, the prescriber must sign the correction immediately next to the amended content.

- Slash the remaining blank part of the paper from the bottom of the prescription content to the top of the prescriber's signature from top to bottom, left to right; sign, record (or stamp) the full name of the prescriber. => Thus, according to the aforementioned regulations, physicians are required to sign and clearly write their full name when prescribing medication for patients.

Respectfully.
