(Baonghean.vn) - The Organizing Committee of the contest awarded the First Prize to Vinh City General Hospital; Second Prize to Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital and Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital; Third Prize to Nghe An General Friendship Hospital, Nghe An Oncology Hospital and Dien Chau General Hospital.
After a day of excitement, the final round of the 2023 Tobacco Harm Prevention Competition in Nghe An Health Sector was a great success. At the competition, 16 teams (with 160 officials, workers, civil servants and employees in the health sector) competed in 3 parts, including: Introduction; General knowledge and understanding competition; Propaganda competition with dramatized skits.
In all three competitions, 16 teams demonstrated their knowledge and skills excellently. In the form of dramatization, the teams fully conveyed knowledge related to the Law on Prevention and Control of Tobacco Harms; the harmful effects of tobacco; and clearly communicated the dangers of electronic cigarettes, heated tobacco products, and new generation cigarettes.
The most outstanding part of the competition was the skit competition. The skits were emotional stories taking place in daily life in medical examination and treatment facilities; between medical staff and patients, their families; between medical staff colleagues; between leaders and medical staff; between patients and patients, and between patients' families.
The skits created and performed by the teams not only praise and commend the health officials and employees for their code of conduct and good implementation of tobacco harm prevention; but also highlight the current situation of smoking, the harmful effects of tobacco, and present ideas and solutions to address that situation.
The ideas proposed are all very meaningful and practical, both promoting the Law on Prevention and Control of Tobacco Harms and proposing feasible measures to prevent and control the harmful effects of tobacco, as well as building a smoke-free environment model in medical facilities.
As a result, the Organizing Committee awarded the First Prize to Vinh City General Hospital; Second Prize to Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital and Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital; Third Prize to Nghe An General Friendship Hospital, Nghe An Oncology Hospital and Dien Chau General Hospital.
