Is it okay if the names on the business license and the medical institution practice license are different?

No.

For-profit medical institutions are faced with the situation where the market supervision and management department gives an institution name with an administrative division name, while the health and family planning administrative department gives an institution name without an administrative division name. In this case, the national ministries and commissions need to coordinate and unify.

Because one of the prerequisites for applying for a health license is a copy of the business license. If it is a newly opened store without a business license, it should first go to the local industrial and commercial department to obtain name approval, and then approve the name. When the health administrative department issues a health license, the name of the registered unit is based on the name approval notice issued by the industrial and commercial department.

In the naming of medical institutions, the Market Supervision Administration follows the "Measures for the Registration and Management of Names of Individual Industrial and Commercial Households" (State Administration for Industry and Commerce Order No. 38) (effective from April 1, 2009) " Article 6 The name of an individual industrial and commercial household shall be composed of administrative division, trade name, industry, and organizational form in order. "The names of individual industrial and commercial households shall be registered and managed.

The health administrative department shall, in accordance with the "Implementation Rules of the Regulations on the Management of Medical Institutions" (Order No. 12 of the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China) (effective from April 1, 2017) Articles 40 and 41 name medical institutions.

Item 5 of Article 41 stipulates that “the identification names of medical institutions set up by local people’s governments at all levels shall contain the names of administrative divisions such as provinces, cities, districts, streets, townships, towns, and villages. The identification names of other medical institutions shall not contain the names of administrative divisions."
