A day in the Emergency Department of the largest hospital in Nghe An.

The area in front of the Emergency Department at Nghe An Friendship General Hospital is always crowded with ambulances passing by and patients' family members constantly present. According to the department's leadership, the medical staff receives approximately 300 critically ill patients daily. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

Patients brought to the Emergency Department often suffer from a variety of illnesses (internal medicine, surgery, multiple injuries, etc.), mostly transferred from district-level hospitals in Nghe An, Ha Tinh, and Thanh Hoa provinces, and even some from neighboring Laos. The large number of patients, many in critical condition, puts constant stress and pressure on the medical staff. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

The Emergency Department has 52 staff members, divided into shifts daily. In the morning, the department holds a meeting to discuss work plans and assign tasks to each person. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

Amidst the anxieties of patients' families, the staff of the Emergency Department are always attentive in providing advice to prevent panic and bring peace of mind during critical moments… Photo: Dinh Tuyen

During each shift, doctors, nurses, and medical staff usually only have about 15 minutes to eat. Meals are often prepared in advance and brought from home. During mealtimes, everyone takes the opportunity to relax and relieve stress and pressure from their work. Photo: Dinh Tuyen
