What this is
Administrative health sanctions are coercive measures financial or regulatory in nature issued by the Ministry of Public Health to penalize non-compliance with public health standards. While classified as regulated non-tax revenue, they serve as instruments for health governance, behavioral regulation, and collective protection. Failure to settle the penalty leads to further coercive measures, such as suspension of operations, revocation of authorization, administrative closure, or even legal proceedings.
