At the New Year's meeting, the leaders of the Department of Health informed reporters, editors, and representatives of central and local media agencies about the outstanding achievements of the sector in 2016.
Accordingly, by the end of 2016, Nghe An had 12 provincial-level hospitals, 7 district-level hospitals of grade 2, and district-level health centers with two functions were gradually being established; the provincial and district-level preventive health care systems had basically met the health care needs of the people. The percentage of communes with doctors reached 90%; the ratio of hospital beds per 10,000 people reached 26.6 beds.

In particular, in recent times, thanks to the implementation of "Innovating service style and attitude, aiming for patient satisfaction," medical facilities in Nghe An have been assessed as having higher satisfaction indices than the national average. To date, the entire sector has had 4 doctors awarded the title of People's Physician; 184 Excellent Physicians, and 190 people honored as Exemplary Medical Ethics Models.
During this meeting, representatives from media agencies offered numerous suggestions for the health sector. Both the positive aspects and limitations of the sector were fully highlighted by the media. This frank and constructive exchange will help the Nghe An health sector continue to build on its strengths and overcome its weaknesses to better provide healthcare for the people in 2017.
This provides a foundation for the industry and media outlets to collaborate and share more information, in order to continue promoting and promptly addressing issues in 2017, aiming to further improve healthcare services for the people.
