Disciplinary action will be taken against 4 doctors and nurses who drank during working hours.

Currently, Hoa Binh City General Hospital has asked these 4 people to make a report and tomorrow (July 3) will hold a meeting to consider disciplinary action.

On the afternoon of July 2, the Director of Hoa Binh City General Hospital (Hoa Binh Province) confirmed that 5 days ago, 4 doctors and nurses were slow in completing discharge procedures for patients because they were drinking and eating. The hospital has asked these 4 people to make a report and tomorrow (July 3) will hold a meeting to consider disciplinary action.

The incident occurred at around 4:15 p.m. on June 27 at the Internal Medicine - Pediatrics - Infectious Diseases Department of Hoa Binh City General Hospital. At that time, a patient's family rushed to complete discharge procedures but did not see any medical staff on duty.

After that, this person went straight to the department's office and saw 4 people, doctors and nurses, sitting drinking beer with grilled squid. Angry at this action, the patient's family took photos as evidence and reported it to the hospital leadership.

Director of Hoa Binh City General Hospital Pham Ky Son confirmed that 1 doctor and 3 nurses violated the agency's regulations as well as the code of conduct for medical staff, as reported by the people. Not only is the use of alcohol prohibited during working hours, the hospital also prohibits drinking alcohol during lunch break in the cafeteria, but these 4 people violated it.

On June 30, the Hospital requested the Internal Medicine - Pediatrics - Infectious Diseases Department to meet to hear these people's reports on the incident. Tomorrow (July 3), the Hospital will meet to consider disciplinary action.

Mr. Pham Ky Son said: “The hospital has requested a department meeting and the individuals who violated the rules to make a self-criticism. In the self-criticism, the individuals received reprimands and were stripped of their emulation. On the unit’s side, disciplinary action will be taken based on the facts and the report.”

The incident occurred when the dialysis accident that killed 8 people at Hoa Binh General Hospital had not yet cooled down, so the leaders of Hoa Binh City General Hospital said they would handle it strictly to contribute to correcting the working style of the entire industry./.
