To develop high quality medical human resources
According to Resolution No. 23/2011/NQ-HDND of the Provincial People's Council, by 2020, the health sector must reach 7 doctors/10,000 people; 90% of commune health stations in the plains and 70-90% in mountainous areas have doctors, the number of doctors needed by 2015 is 2,132 people. In 2011, the total number of doctors in public health facilities in the province was 1,364 people and the number needed to be supplemented was 536; the number of university pharmacists was 47 people and needed to be supplemented with 57 people to meet the set target.
(Baonghean) -According to Resolution No. 23/2011/NQ-HDND of the Provincial People's Council, by 2020, the health sector must reach 7 doctors/10,000 people; 90% of commune health stations in the plains and 70-90% in mountainous areas have doctors, the number of doctors needed by 2015 is 2,132 people. In 2011, the total number of doctors in public health facilities in the province was 1,364 people and the number needed to be supplemented was 536; the number of university pharmacists was 47 people and needed to be supplemented with 57 people to meet the set target.
To gradually solve the above problems of the health sector, the 16th Provincial People's Council issued Resolution No. 34/2011/NQ-HDND, dated December 9, 2011 on a number of policies for developing public health human resources in Nghe An province (including support for training university and postgraduate doctors and pharmacists and support for attracting doctors, including average doctors, to specialized hospitals, district hospitals in low and high mountainous areas, and commune health stations). Accordingly, the Provincial People's Committee issued Decision No. 17/2012/QD-UBND specifying a number of policies for developing public health human resources. Up to this point, the policy has been implemented for a year and has initially affirmed its practicality.
Using modern equipment and techniques in medical examination at Thanh Chuong General Hospital.
At Thanh Chuong District General Hospital, the province's policy to support the development of high-quality human resources was born, overcoming the difficulty that the hospital was facing, which was the cost of training for staff. Doctor Nguyen Thinh Khuyen - Deputy Director of the Hospital, said: "For decades, the hospital has not attracted any doctors to work, but in 2012, implementing the province's policy, the hospital attracted 5 doctors to work. The province's policy also contributed to motivating and encouraging many staff who previously did not have the conditions to go to school to now go to school. In 2012 alone, the hospital sent 6 specialist doctors I; 1 specialist doctor II; 3 university pharmacists for training.
Not only at Thanh Chuong General Hospital, in general, the policy of the Provincial People's Council has been implemented in many public health facilities in the province. According to the preliminary report of the Department of Health, after 1 year of implementing the Resolution, the whole province has had 105 doctors sent for postgraduate training (including 1 PhD; 18 doctors with specialist level II; 65 doctors with specialist level I, resident doctors; 21 masters of medicine); 47 secondary school nurses and pharmacists trained to become doctors. The work of receiving and attracting doctors to work in Nghe An also tends to increase, with a total of 149 doctors, of which 76 doctors are at the provincial level, 55 doctors at the district level, and 18 doctors at the commune level. In addition, localities have also actively attracted 26 retired doctors to collaborate in commune health facilities.
However, while the training work according to the policy of the Provincial People's Council has been effective, the attraction work has not achieved the desired results. Also in Thanh Chuong, up to this point, the District and Commune Health Centers have not attracted any doctors to work. Similar to specialized hospitals such as the Provincial Mental Hospital, the Provincial Tuberculosis and Lung Hospital, the Provincial Forensic Examination Center, although having the highest preferential policies and located in the center of Vinh City, has not yet attracted any doctors to work. Finding out the reason, it is known that each year Nghe An attracts about 70 doctors to work, while in hospitals considered "valuable" such as the Provincial General Friendship Hospital, Nghe An Oncology Hospital, Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, there is still a shortage of doctors and a need to attract, including average graduated doctors.
To solve this problem, according to officials in the health sector, the policy needs to continue to be amended and supplemented in an open direction, increasing the level of training support, because in reality, people studying medicine have high costs and the policy should include conditions for housing support, creating employment conditions for spouses to stabilize family life for health workers who are attracted. More importantly, it is necessary to put forward policies to invest in facilities and medical equipment for health facilities, especially at the district level and commune health stations to create jobs and increase income for doctors; at the same time, create a working environment, dedication and growth for the health staff. In addition, it is necessary to increase the training quota for university doctors and pharmacists for formal training institutions, or strengthen specialized training to create more resources to provide for health facilities in the province.
