Supervising the recruitment and employment of civil servants in Tuong Duong.

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of October 16th, as part of the ongoing program to monitor the recruitment and employment of ethnic minority cadres, civil servants, and public employees in the province, the monitoring team worked at the Health Center and General Hospital of Tuong Duong district.

A general overview of the working session.

The Tuong Duong District Health Center manages 292 medical staff, including 37 at the center, 100 at commune health stations, and 155 at village health stations. Of the 292 medical staff, 156 are ethnic minorities. From 2010-2012, 5 new staff members were recruited through a selection process, including 3 ethnic minorities, following the regulations and guidelines of the inter-ministerial committee of the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Health. In terms of staff management, the Health Center has established working regulations, regulations on emulation and reward, regulations on coordination between the Health Department, the District Health Center, and the General Hospital, and implements the national criteria for communes achieving health standards. However, the quality of village health workers remains inadequate, especially regarding the salary system. Out of 155 village health workers, only 60 receive state salaries, while the rest receive subsidies, which negatively impacts their morale and attitude towards serving the public's health. One staff member at a commune health station violated disciplinary rules related to drug abuse. At the District General Hospital, there are 139 staff members, including 89 ethnic minorities. The number of new recruits by 2014 was 50 (including 22 ethnic minorities), and 10 people are on contract at the hospital.

The monitoring team acknowledged the results of the recruitment and utilization of civil servants in the two units. The Health Center promptly detected and effectively contained the outbreak of localized rash in Pieng Cooc village, Mai Son commune. The team also expressed the hope that the Health Center would develop a plan for training, fostering, recruiting, and utilizing civil servants based on regular job positions, strengthen the team of doctors at hospitals and commune health stations to provide primary healthcare for people in remote areas, and prevent disease outbreaks. They also requested support for highly qualified doctors to retain them in the area, and asked the province to increase staffing for commune health stations and provide benefits for village health workers. The Department of Internal Affairs and the Department of Health should establish a coordination mechanism between the health sector and the districts to recruit doctors and medical staff to work in mountainous districts, avoiding situations where civil servants are recruited to work in the district health sector without the district's involvement. Increase the reimbursement rate for hospital beds in mountainous districts; policies are needed to attract skilled doctors to these districts.

Continuing the program to monitor the recruitment and employment of civil servants and public employees from ethnic minority groups in Tuong Duong district, on the afternoon of October 16th, the monitoring team conducted a visit to the District Education Department.

The delegation worked at the Department of Education and Training of Tuong Duong district.

The recruitment of teachers from ethnic minority groups in the district still faces difficulties, especially due to the low quality of incoming students, particularly in remote areas where the quality is significantly lower than in areas closer to the center. Furthermore, the recruitment regulations do not include preferential treatment for ethnic minorities, resulting in fewer opportunities for their children to be recruited. There is a need for policies and training programs for ethnic minority teachers to build a strong educational management team and develop human resources for other sectors.

The monitoring team acknowledged the achievements in the recruitment and employment of civil servants in the district, and expressed the hope that the district's education sector would adhere closely to recruitment regulations to ensure transparency and fairness, prioritizing the selection of children from ethnic minority groups and local residents; regularly inspect and evaluate teachers and staff to create a positive image of teachers among students; prevent teachers from becoming addicted to drugs; rotate teachers according to regulations, especially those who have taught for many years in remote areas; and develop recruitment and rotation regulations to ensure fairness and transparency.
