Thoroughly handle hospital management issues

On July 2, at the Government Headquarters, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long, Head of Steering Group No. 4 of the Government Party Committee, chaired a meeting and gave opinions on the preparations for the Party Congress of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Health.

According to the report of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Health, up to now, the Party Committee of the Ministry has directed the successful organization of the congress for the 2025-2030 term for 30/30 affiliated party organizations. The congress is expected to be held before August 15, 2025, with the motto "Solidarity - Innovation - Integration - Development".

The Congress's theme is expected to be to improve the leadership capacity and fighting strength of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Health; promote intelligence, solidarity, actively innovate, and strengthen integration, for the goal of developing the health sector in the new era.

After listening to comments and concluding the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long emphasized the need to proactively prepare documents, personnel, and other aspects to serve the congress, in which special attention should be paid to the personnel plan, ensuring strict, scientific, and consistent procedures.

Regarding the political report, the Deputy Prime Minister said that the Party Committee of the Ministry of Health must write more carefully about the context, "how this term is, how the next term will be, such as personnel changes, inspection and examination work... especially after COVID-19", thereby clearly identifying the situation and correctly assessing key points regarding directions and tasks.

The Deputy Prime Minister suggested describing the most basic points of what he has done, such as directing the stabilization of the situation and ideology for cadres and employees after some violations in the industry were handled, selecting basic tasks in the industry's management field to have solutions to overcome previous problems such as drug bidding, food hygiene and safety, etc.

Comments and assessments must be accompanied by specific data. "The results shown in completing targets are only a part, there are many other factors, comrades should do more detailed analysis on this content", the Deputy Prime Minister noted and said that it is necessary to analyze the limitations more carefully, with some remaining aspects that have not found solutions.

In terms of direction, the Ministry of Health needs to closely follow the draft documents to be submitted to the 14th National Party Congress, especially the contents related to the health sector and the instructions of General Secretary To Lam at recent working sessions with the Ministry of Health.

"You must advise the Central Government to make fundamental changes in health management," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

First of all, there needs to be a specific plan and proposal to deal with the health care network this year when the two-level local government comes into operation. Thoroughly deal with hospital management issues, standardize basic procedures for medical examination and treatment, pharmaceutical management, and food hygiene and safety. The Ministry's review report on its leadership and management needs to be written more frankly, looking directly at the truth to draw lessons and solutions.
