Ha Noi Party secretary congratulates medical staff on Vietnamese Doctors' Day

On the Vietnamese doctors’ traditional day, Mr. Hue and his entourages visited Duc Giang General Hospital and the Ha Noi Department of Health.

Director of Duc Giang Hospital Nguyen Van Thuong said the unit is a first-class general hospital with a capacity of over 500 beds and is one of five Hanoi hospitals tasked with providing isolation, monitoring and treatment for Covid-19 patients. 

The hospital established its own Covid-19 Prevention and Control Department, consisting of three sub-committees and two mobile emergency teams.

The hospital is preparing an isolated area to treat patients suspected of having Covid-19 infection with 70 beds equipped with breathing machines, medicines and other equipment. Currently, the hospital has fortunately not received any patients related to Covid-19 yet.

Conveying his congratulations to Duc Giang Hospital's doctors, Hue suggested that the hospital continue to strive for comprehensive development, promoting its role as the city's first-class general hospital, with a focus on fostering a quality medical staff, strengthening cooperation to improve qualifications, renovating governance, promoting financial autonomy and improving the management of procurement of medical equipment and quality assurance.

Hue also hoped that doctors and medical staff would make greater efforts in providing preventive healthcare services for local people and the health sector would apply high technologies while continuing to stay ready to cope with the COVID-19 disease. 

The health sector and medical establishments need to focus on reforming the way of serving patients, developing human resources and stepping up scientific research with the aim of improving the quality of medical checks-up and treatment, he added.
