I have a question about the word “belong”.
This word can’t be used in a passive sentence, can it?
For example, I want to say (in a formal document, like guidance issued by the government):
“…at a medical institution to which a doctor who has agreed to cooperate in the immunization program in response to the request by the mayor of the municipality belongs”.
Obviously, the blue part is too long, and “to which” and “belong” are too far from each other.
But I don’t think it’s correct say “...at a medical institution which is belonged to by a doctor who has agreed to cooperate in the immunization program in response to the request by the mayor of the municipality”.
Are there any good ways to say “which is belonged to” correctly?
(If the whole sentence is necessary, this is it.)
The mayor of each municipality should pay benefits in accordance with the status of the health damage, if the vaccine recipient goes into a state of impairment or dies after receiving the vaccine at a medical institution with a doctor who has agreed to cooperate in the immunization program in response to the request by the mayor of the municipality, and if the health damage is considered to have occurred due to the immunization with the vaccine.
