Ready to take care of people's health during Tet

(Baonghean) -Every time Tet comes, doctors and nurses in hospitals in our province prepare to celebrate Tet with patients. Being ready to provide emergency care 24/7 to meet the needs of patients, preparing Tet gifts to visit and encourage patients... are the most practical actions that show the affection and responsibility of doctors towards their patients.

At the Provincial General Hospital, all preparations for emergency care, examination and treatment for people during the Lunar New Year are ready. During the Tet holidays, the hospital has arranged 100 staff on duty per shift, divided into 4 levels (leadership duty, department duty, professional duty and logistics duty) and internal and external emergency teams have been established and are ready to be on duty 24/24 hours to serve patients. The hospital has also prepared a full range of medicines and medical equipment to serve patients. Determining that Tet is a time when trauma and emergency cases often occur, the hospital leadership as well as the emergency department have developed a specific plan to be on duty during Tet. Medicines and blood transfusions have also been fully prepared, ensuring service for patients before, during and after the Lunar New Year. Doctors will be on duty 24/7 in the emergency room so that all cases transferred will be received and treated promptly. Specifically, the emergency department has organized 3 shifts, one of which consists of 3 doctors and 6 nurses on duty 24/24 hours. In addition, a permanent shift of 1 doctor and 2 nurses has been established, so that when there is a situation, it is ready to increase patient service. In emergency cases with a large number of patients, the hospital will increase the mobilization of more staff to the emergency room to ensure that 100% of patients receive timely treatment. In addition, to encourage doctors, nurses, and hospital staff on duty during Tet, in addition to the Tet duty standards, each shift, each doctor, nurse, and staff will receive an additional 100,000 VND from the hospital. At this time, the hospital still has more than 800 patients being treated. In the coming time, mild cases that do not require the support of medical equipment will be facilitated by the hospital to return home to celebrate Tet. It is expected that this year at the Provincial General Hospital, there will be about 300 patients who will have to celebrate Tet at the hospital. To encourage the patients, the hospital leaders and departments have arranged time on the evening of the 29th and the morning of the first day of Tet to visit each bed, wish a happy new year and give gifts to patients being treated at the hospital.

The hospital also pays special attention to employees and officers to improve their spirit and attitude in serving patients during the Tet holiday. In addition to gift-giving activities by provincial leaders and agencies, to encourage the spirit of patients and doctors at the hospital, on the evening of the 29th lunar day, the hospital will organize an early Tet celebration, the hospital leaders will visit, encourage and give gifts to patients and doctors on duty. It is expected that this year there will be about 100 patients who have to celebrate Tet at the hospital, each patient will receive a gift worth 200,000 VND. In addition, for patients in difficult circumstances who cannot celebrate Tet, the hospital management will have specific support plans to ensure that every patient has a warm Tet. The hospital management will regularly update the situation and information of each patient to have appropriate treatment and support so that each patient can have more joy in overcoming the pain of illness.

At the Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, there is still an overload with 320 beds but there are still 400 patients being treated. Therefore, the hospital is trying to resolve outpatient treatment for mild patients returning home for Tet. It is expected that this Tet, there will be about 100 - 150 children staying at the hospital for treatment. To ensure that the children have a happy Tet, the hospital's leadership will organize a Tet celebration for the children and their families on the evening of the 29th lunar month. Each patient will receive a gift from the hospital's leadership to support and encourage the patients' spirit. In addition, to ensure medical examination and treatment for people during Tet, the hospital has also organized 24/7 shifts during Tet. With more than 50 doctors and nurses in four levels, each shift is on duty. In addition, the departments have also established backup shifts to be ready for necessary cases. Emergency teams inside and outside the hospital are also on standby. To ensure that all patients receive timely medical examination and treatment, the hospital has arranged full shifts, with the determination to promptly handle all cases without refusing or delaying any case.

115 General Hospital is one of the hospitals that always gathers a large number of patients from inside and outside the province. The Tet holiday is identified by the hospital leaders as a peak period with a high number of people coming for medical examination and treatment, especially traffic accidents and trauma cases, so the hospital leaders have directed departments and rooms to strengthen their preparations for all possible cases. In order to serve patients in the best way, in addition to professional preparation and facilities, the hospital also directed the hospital's dining system to operate normally during the Tet holiday, serving meals to patients and doctors. Notably, this year during the Tet holiday, there are still about 90 patients undergoing hemodialysis, so the Hemodialysis Department only takes a break on the first day of the lunar calendar, the rest still operates normally to meet the needs of patients. It is expected that on the evening of the 29th lunar month, the hospital's board of directors will organize a New Year's Eve party and visit and give gifts to patients at the hospital and medical staff and doctors on duty during Tet at the hospital.

Preparations at hospitals for Tet have basically been completed and they are ready to welcome and examine people during the Lunar New Year. Although everyone has their own difficulties, the medical staff is still determined to take care of patients. Doctor Nguyen Duc Phuc - Head of the Emergency Department of the Provincial General Hospital, shared: "On the occasion of Tet, everyone wants to reunite with their families, but with the encouragement and care of the hospital leaders as well as the trust of the people, we are always ready. On occasions like this, we understand the suffering of patients and their families even more, so we, the medical staff, always remind and encourage each other to try to do our jobs well and take good care of patients."
