Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Xuyen requested that hospitals take good care of patients who have to stay in hospital during the traditional Tet holiday.

“Do not allow any mistakes to occur in medical examination and treatment, and at the same time pay attention and care to patients who have to stay in hospital during the traditional Binh Than New Year” - this is the direction of Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Xuyen when inspecting the emergency response work at a number of medical examination and treatment facilities.

Implementing the Directive of the Minister of Health on strengthening medical work during the Lunar New Year 2016, 2 hospitals under the Central Government, namely the Central Acupuncture Hospital, the Central Lung Hospital and 3 hospitals under the Department of Health of Bac Giang and Bac Ninh have developed a plan to ensure medical work during the Lunar New Year holiday and work on disease prevention, disaster prevention and mass emergency.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Viet Nhung, Director of the Central Lung Hospital, said that the hospital has built a 4-level schedule from leadership, expertise, administration and logistics to ensure medical examination and treatment during Tet, and at the same time, developed a plan to ensure disease prevention and mass emergency. The hospital has also prepared adequate equipment, medicine, infusion fluid, and blood to prepare for medical examination and treatment and emergency on duty. To support patients to have a warm Tet holiday, the hospital's Social Work Department has stepped up its call for many benefactors to give gifts and share with patients.

At Bac Giang General Hospital, Dr. Nguyen Van Dong, hospital director, said that although the hospital has screened and only retained seriously ill patients who need interventional treatment and special care, it is expected that hundreds of patients will have to celebrate Tet in the hospital.

Happy New Year to the staff and doctors of Hospital 115

For seriously ill patients who are forced to stay during Tet, the hospital will increase their food rations on the 29th, 1st and 2nd of Tet. Relatives of poor patients and those with preferential policies will receive similar benefits. On the 29th of Tet, the hospital's Board of Directors will visit and give gifts to seriously ill patients.

To best prepare for medical work during Tet, the Party Committee and Board of Directors of Bac Giang General Hospital have directed departments and rooms with many patients and few doctors not to refuse or delay any emergency cases.

At the inspection of medical work for the Lunar New Year, the Deputy Minister asked hospitals to develop detailed plans and strategies to ensure medical examination and treatment during the Lunar New Year, and to avoid shortages of medicine, blood, infusion fluids and equipment for medical examination and treatment as well as emergency care.

Visiting and giving Tet gifts to patients at the Oncology Hospital.

According to the Deputy Minister, patients who have to stay during Tet are usually seriously ill, poor and lonely patients, so medical staff must pay close attention so that patients can enjoy the Tet atmosphere. Hospitals must not let any mistakes happen during Tet, must ensure 4-level duty, ensure duty time and position, strictly follow professional regulations in medical examination and treatment and code of conduct for medical staff. In addition, hospital leaders must pay attention to and encourage medical staff on duty during Tet to wholeheartedly serve patients.
