My baby is still young, when I came, the station chief Nguyen Viet Hoi himself examined and consulted me, so I was very reassured.

Medical examination and treatment for people at Giang Son Tay Medical Station.

Giang Son Tay Commune Health Station was established in 2004. After a period of development, Giang Son Commune was divided into two communes (Giang Son Dong and Giang Son Tay). In 2007, Giang Son Tay Commune Health Station was officially established, becoming one of the two primary medical examination and treatment facilities for people in remote mountainous areas of the district. In the difficult initial context, the infrastructure was only a temporary 4-room house, and technical expertise was not yet available. These difficulties directly affected the effectiveness of primary medical examination and treatment for local people.

Constantly struggling, in 2010, Giang Son Tay commune health station advised the commune People's Committee to issue a national standard project on health. Every year, the station's staff proactively built investment and procurement plans, established a Steering Committee to assign specific tasks to members. In particular, the station advised the Party Committee and People's Council of the commune to do a good job of socialization, issued a Resolution to mobilize people to contribute 30,000 VND/person/year, and in 5 years mobilized over 120 million VND to invest in upgrading houses and working equipment. In 2015, the staff and employees of the entire unit mobilized organizations and individuals such as the Youth Union, Veterans, and the Fatherland Front to contribute tens of millions of VND to solidify fences, flower gardens, medicinal herb gardens, and auxiliary works. Thanks to that, in 2015, the commune health station achieved 10 national standard criteria on family health in phase 2 of Do Luong district.

Medical staff of Giang Son Tay Medical Station always listen to people's opinions.

Every year, the medical station provides medical examination and treatment for nearly 4,900 people, of which over 1,000 are outpatients, over 300 are inpatients, over 780 are children's health insurance, and nearly 2,300 are adults' health insurance. On average, there are 45 births at the station per year, with no newborns weighing less than 250g. The child vaccination rate is 100%. Vaccination is safe, with no accidents occurring in 5 consecutive years.

Currently, the medical staff of the Station meets the requirements of the task of primary medical examination and treatment for people at the grassroots level. The whole station currently has 5 staff, including doctors, midwives, traditional medicine staff, 4 people with intermediate level, 1 person with primary level. Village medical staff cover 12/12 hamlets, reaching 100%. Policies and regimes for village medical staff and health workers are met promptly. The monthly professional meetings are always well maintained by the Station. In addition, the Station also flexibly utilizes the support of the district, the Center and departments and branches to invest and upgrade equipment as well as professional qualifications.

The invested infrastructure conditions contribute effectively to the work of medical examination and treatment for people. With the attention of all levels, the project of building a station house and a closed project has been implemented very practically. Up to now, the Station has 12 spacious level 4 working rooms.
