As a first-tier hospital subordinate to the provincial Health Department, the General Hospital of Hoa Binh province has 804 staff members working at 44 departments and divisions. With 850 patient beds, it is currently the leading healthcare institution of the province. Over the recent past, a number of comprehensive measures have been carried out to improve the quality of public health care, said Director of the hospital Nguyen Hoang Dieu.
Doctors of Intensive Care Department No 1 of the
provincial General Hospital consult one another about treatment methods.
During the first nine months of 2023, the bed
occupancy rate at the hospital averaged 97%, up over 10% from the same period
of 2022. A total of 156,425 patients came to the hospital for check-up,
increasing 17.1%. They included 8,481 outpatients, up 26%, and 32,736
inpatients, up 9.7%, with the total days staying at the hospital for treatment
rising 15.6% year on year to 224,523.
Emergency aid and treatment have always been
carried out in a timely manner. Besides, personnel, medicine, blood, and other
supplies for emergency aid have also been guaranteed to stay ready to respond
to any circumstances.
Though many difficulties remain, these figures
have reflected efforts by the hospital’s staff as well as local people and
patients’ trust in the facility, Director Dieu noted.
He said the hospital has succeeded in mastering
many difficult techniques used at central-level facilities and received
patients and people’s recognition.
Processes at the examination department have
been reviewed and improved to create favourable conditions for patients to
handle procedures and receive check-ups. The emergency aid system at the
hospital’s departments and emergency aid teams have also been consolidated,
helping save many patients in critical condition.
Some medical examination and treatment services
delivered on demand have also attracted patients. Notably, the General Hospital
has invited experts from the Hanoi-based Bach Mai Hospital, Viet Duc Hospital,
and National Cancer (K) Hospital to come to perform cardiovascular
interventions, digestive endoscopy, and surgeries.
In particular, it has officially applied
electronic health records since January 1, 2023 to completely replace paper ones.
Other measures have also been taken to improve
specialised activities, Dieu noted, elaborating that the hospital and the Hanoi
Medical University Hospital have signed a memorandum of understanding on
cooperation in five areas, namely personnel training, technique transfer,
diagnosis and treatment, workshop organisation, and scientific research.
The MoU signing marked a breakthrough in the
provincial General Hospital’s cooperation with the Hanoi Medical University and
its hospital, thereby improving its staff’s capacity and the quality of
healthcare services.
During a recent working session with the Viet
Duc Hospital, the Hoa Binh General Hospital also called for assistance in some
specialised branches.
Thanks to all-round and practical solutions
taken, the quality of medical examination and treatment has been promoted
considerably, and the hospital has won the trust of people from different
ethnic groups in the province, he added.
A workshop on promoting the role of reputable individuals and religious dignitaries in popularising and promoting gender equality in ethnic minorities and mountainous areas was held by the Vietnam Women's Union (VWU) in Hoa Binh province on July 16.
Hoa Binh province has 145 out of the 151 communes, wards, and towns which are ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas, 506 communes facing extreme difficulties, and more than 74% of its population being ethnic minority people.
Creating on-site jobs for rural women lies in the heart of the operation of the Women's Union of Lac Thinh commune in Yen Thuy district. Bui Thi Tien, 44, of the Muong ethnic group, a member of the women's union of Sau hamlet in Lac Thinh commune, has boldly sought and created jobs for many women to increase their income and improve their families' living standards.
Defining socio-economic development and effective implementation of policies on ethnic affairs in the locality has been a continuous and crucial task during 2019-2024 period, the Party Committee and People's Committee of Cao Phong district have focused on leadership in executing these tasks, achieving positive results. The material and spiritual lives of people in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas have gradually improved while rural area has gained a face-lift.
Hoa Binh’s education and training sector is implementing concerted measures to better the quality of education and training, proactively implementing the national target programme on new rural area building.
Family is the home of each person and the cell of a society. It also plays a significant role in the formation and development of each person’s personality. On May 4, 2001, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 72/2001/QD-TTg, designating June 28 as the Vietnamese Family Day. Over the past years, Hoa Binh province has carried out a number of activities to honour the family traditions and help develop prosperous, progressive, equal, happy "cells of society”.
