The provincial Maternity and Paediatrics Hospital and the Thanh Sơn District Medical Centre are two pioneering units in the northern province of Phú Thọ, creating a safe, friendly and sustainable medical examination and treatment environment.
As part of the visit, the delegation toured the Human Milk Bank, the Kangaroo Mother Care and Intensive Treatment Centre within the Neonatal Unit of the National Children’s Hospital.
Minister of Health Đào Hồng Lan asked hospitals to renew management activities, minimise administrative procedures and promote the application of technology to create favourable conditions for patients.
The influx of patients has overwhelmed the hospitals' capacity, forcing them to add beds in the hallways and reassign medical staff from other departments to help.
Accrediting hospitals can help improve the quality of health care by setting attainable benchmarks, bettering coordination and management of services, and strengthening public trust in medical services quality.
Hospitals are struggling to manage severe cases, which are presenting with complex developments and dangerous complications, increasing the risk of fatalities.
