Cua Dong General Hospital strives to become a high-quality medical facility in the North Central region.
(Baonghean) - During its 17-year development journey, Cua Dong General Hospital has transformed strongly, increasingly affirming its pioneering position in professional development and application of advanced techniques. The hospital aims to perfect the model of a high-quality medical facility, becoming a prestigious medical examination and treatment address for people inside and outside the province to place their trust.
Making the most of new techniques
In the context of a system of strongly developing and diverse medical facilities, the number of patients visiting Cua Dong General Hospital every day is always over 1,000 people/day. The increase in patients every year, along with the decreasing rate of referrals, is proof of the quality of medical examination and treatment (KCB) and the increasing trust of people in the hospital. This achievement is thanks to the fact that in recent times, the Hospital has focused its efforts on developing technical expertise and receiving specialized technical transfer from central hospitals.

Many difficult cases have been successfully treated by the hospital. For example, patient Tran Thi L. (50 years old, from Ha Tinh province) has had symptoms of dull hip pain for the past 10 years, accompanied by painful urination and physical weakness. Ms. Tran Thi L. was examined by doctors specializing in the Department of Surgery - Cua Dong General Hospital, diagnosed with stones in the lower third of the right ureter and was prescribed laser lithotripsy of the lower third of the right ureter.
