Vinh City General Hospital: Striving to complete the 'dual task'
(Baonghean.vn) - The Covid-19 pandemic is placing a heavy burden on the country's health sector as doctors and nurses have to "carry out dual duties". As the frontline in the fight against the pandemic, Vinh General Hospital is striving to overcome difficulties to fulfill its noble mission of medical examination and treatment while contributing to the prevention and control of the pandemic in the community.
Fulfilling the mission
The Covid-19 epidemic is complicated, in Nghe An, recently, doctors and nurses have had to perform "dual tasks" in extremely difficult conditions. Regularly receiving nearly 2,000 patients for medical examination and treatment (KCB) every day, the risk of disease transmission from the community is very high, but Vinh General Hospital has proactively planned to both complete its mission and ensure the safety of staff, patients and their families.

The hospital applies IT to reduce waiting time, limit crowds, and regularly disinfect departments and maintain a safe hospital environment. Patients and their families are required to not leave the hospital grounds, and each patient is only allowed one family member to take care of them during the treatment process.

In the fierce fight against the epidemic, the hospital's doctors, nurses, and medical staff (including many female soldiers in white coats) sacrificed their own happiness and worked at the hospital for many weeks. They had to both fight the epidemic and strive to fulfill their noble mission. The doctors became brave soldiers...
“Although I am taking care of a young child, during this time, we work without days off, staying at the hospital 24/7 to both perform the task of taking care of the patient's health and ensuring the safety of myself, the patients and my family. When I am tired, have milk ducts, miss and miss my child, I have to keep it to myself. Determining our duty as frontline soldiers, we always strive and fight tirelessly to complete our mission...” - Dr. Nguyen Thi Tram Anh - Faculty of Traditional Medicine - VLTL - PHCN shared.

Even during the tense times of the pandemic, the hospital still receives and treats thousands of patients every day, performing 839 surgeries since July. New and advanced techniques are still being deployed regularly, ensuring the task of taking care of people's health such as: Laparoscopic surgery (PTNS) to lithotripsy kidney stones through a small tunnel; PTNS to lithotripsy kidney stones using a flexible endoscope; PTNS to remove non-functional kidneys, resect lung segments, suture pleural air cysts... and many other complicated cases.
Contribute to the "fight against the epidemic"
Along with efforts to implement epidemic prevention and control measures, prevent the risk of spreading in the community, to fulfill the mission of examining, treating and taking care of people's health. The hospital's medical staff is also enthusiastic and volunteered to participate in the fight against the epidemic locally and nationwide.
When the epidemic in Vinh city was at risk of spreading to the community, more than 100 doctors and nurses from the hospital were mobilized to participate in the force of collecting samples for testing and 200 doctors and nurses participated in vaccinating people in wards and communes in the area against Covid-19.

The Covid-19 pandemic broke out very complicatedly in some provinces and cities in the South. As frontline soldiers, regardless of difficulties and dangers, 12 doctors and nurses from the hospital volunteered to go on the "order of the heart", to reinforce the epidemic center of Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong province and 3 doctors and nurses participated in treating patients at Field Hospital No. 1 (Hung Nguyen).

Ensuring medical examination and treatment and epidemic prevention are identified by the hospital as two especially important tasks that go hand in hand and are continuous, in the complicated epidemic situation.
“After providing support to localities in the epidemic center and local field hospitals, the hospital's Board of Directors proactively deployed the division of work shifts to suit the actual situation at the hospital, ensuring the maintenance of patient reception and treatment.
At the same time, implementing the viewpoint of the Provincial People's Committee on Covid-19 prevention and control is one level higher, one step earlier, the hospital continues to synchronously implement many solutions, thoroughly apply information technology to improve the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control work to ensure the safest for patients and their families; prepare backup plans, prepare medical equipment, reserve oxygen systems, ventilators according to the regulations of the Department of Health, ready for the worst epidemic situation in the area".
