Anxious medical examination and treatment in a dilapidated medical station in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Degraded infrastructure, damaged medical equipment... are the common situations of medical stations in the mountainous district of Ky Son, affecting medical examination and treatment activities for local people.
 |
| Built in 2002, with an area of 90m2After many years of use, many items of the Dooc May Commune Health Station, Ky Son District are seriously degraded, causing anxiety for people who come here for medical examination and treatment. |
 |
| The Dooc May Commune Health Station is not only a medical examination address for 1,832 people in the commune, but also a place for people from some neighboring villages such as Huoi Tong, Huoi Le, and Keng Du commune to receive medical treatment. Ms. Lau Y Chua (in Pha Lech Phay village, Dooc May commune), a patient being treated at the Dooc May Commune Health Station, shared: “Anyone in our commune who is sick comes here for treatment, because it is too far to go to Muong Xen. But we are very scared every time we go to the health station for examination because the houses are so dilapidated, they can collapse at any time.” |
 |
| Doctor La Van Thong - Head of the Dooc May Commune Health Station, shared: “The station is seriously degraded, there is a lack of functional rooms, the working rooms are dilapidated and small, so it is very inconvenient for patients to come for examination. The station is 62 km from the town center, so there are many patients coming for examination, the need for inpatient treatment is also high. However, we do not dare to admit patients for inpatient treatment because the station is at risk of collapsing at any time, not ensuring the safety of patients. Therefore, in many cases, we have to go to the patient's house to examine them or even for minor illnesses, we refer them to a higher level. |

| All the walls are easily peeled off at the slightest touch. |
 |
| Many cracks in the walls provide places for weeds to grow. |
 |
| Several layers of concrete fell into a pile at the foot of the wall. |
 |
| “Regarding the serious deterioration of the health station, we have sent a document to the district twice at the voter contact meeting and dialogue with the people, and the people have also made many suggestions. We also sent a document to the District People's Council and the district has also conducted a survey once, but so far there has been no response from the Party Committee and local authorities.” - Mr. Gia Song Thai - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Dooc May commune said. |
 |
| Not only are the facilities of the Dooc May Commune Health Station seriously degraded, but the water source is also lacking, and the station's staff and residents have to collect rainwater for use, which is not hygienic. |
 |
| Mr. Sam Van Hai - Director of Ky Son District Medical Center said that in reality, there are still 7 degraded commune health stations in Ky Son that need to be repaired and rebuilt. Of these, 3 commune health stations are seriously degraded and need a large amount of funding to rebuild, including communes such as Bao Thang, Dooc May and Tay Son. Not only are the station's facilities degraded, but the kitchen and auxiliary works of the station also need to be repaired and upgraded. |
 |
| In fact, the commune health station is the closest health facility to the people, ensuring that all people receive primary health care at low cost. Therefore, investing to overcome the limitations of facilities and infrastructure at the commune health station will contribute to improving the health care capacity at the grassroots level, reducing the pressure of patient overload on the upper level. At the same time, it will meet the medical standards according to the roadmap for new rural construction in the communes in the mountainous district of Ky Son. |
