Comrade Bui Dinh Long - Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Director of the Department of Health worked with the delegation.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council chaired the meeting.

Comrade Bui Dinh Long - Director of the Department of Health affirmed that improving the quality of medical examination and treatment and improving medical ethics and attitude towards serving patients are two key contents of the sector.

At the meeting, the Department of Health informed about a number of issues that voters were interested in, recommended and reflected, focusing on clarifying the implementation of Resolution No. 95/2013/NQ-HDND, dated July 17, 2013 of the Provincial People's Council and Decision No. 52/2013/QD-UBND, dated September 19, 2013 of the Provincial People's Committee on the mechanism to support investment in construction and upgrading of facilities of commune, ward and town health stations. According to the Department of Health, the investment in construction and upgrading of facilities of health stations is currently behind schedule, not meeting investment needs, ensuring conditions for building communes to meet the National Health Criteria, especially in mountainous and highland communes. The reason is that the capital allocated from the provincial budget and investment capital according to Resolution 30a are slow. Local authorities at all levels have not yet had solutions to mobilize investment capital according to decentralization (local, socialized, residential...) to support investment in construction and upgrading of medical station facilities, and are still waiting and relying on the central and provincial budgets.

Comrade Nguyen Huu Truong - Chief of Office of the National Assembly Delegation and Provincial People's Council proposed the Department to explain some issues of concern.

Comrade Luu Dinh Cu - Chief of Office of the Department of Health reported on the handling of voters' recommendations and reflections related to the industry.

Comrade Pham Ngoc Quy - Head of the Department of Health's Professional Affairs Department informed the working delegation about the solutions implemented by the industry to improve medical ethics and service spirit.

Another issue that the Department of Health also shared was the voters' reflection on the service attitude and quality of medical examination and treatment at medical facilities in the province in general and Tay Bac Nghe An General Hospital in particular, which is not good. Through the explanation of the Department of Health, it shows that the voters' reflections are well-founded. The Department also affirmed that in the past time, the sector has focused on implementing many solutions to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment as well as overcome some shortcomings and weaknesses in medical ethics, spirit, and service attitude of medical staff towards patients at treatment levels, including Tay Bac Nghe An General Hospital. These are two major issues that the sector will continue to focus on directing in the coming time to better meet the needs of patients.

Comrade Dau Huy Hoan - Deputy Director of the Department of Health shared some information and answered questions of concern to the monitoring delegation.

Concluding the meeting, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council acknowledged the efforts of the sector in gradually improving and enhancing the quality of medical examination and treatment, the spirit and attitude of serving patients, as well as paying attention to resolving the recommendations and reflections of voters under the sector. At the same time, he requested the Department to review the current situation to choose a more appropriate step and roadmap to solve the difficulties in facilities for commune-level health stations. Along with that, actively coordinate with sectors and levels to create more resources outside the central and provincial budgets, while promoting socialization and mobilizing all investment resources for this lower level.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council concluded the meeting.
