Assignment of emergency duty outside hospital

Deputy Minister Tran Van Thuan said that this request aims to strengthen the assurance of medical examination, treatment, and traffic accident emergency care during the holidays, while effectively implementing Official Dispatch No. 39/CD-TTg dated April 17, 2025 of the Prime Minister on ensuring traffic order and safety to serve people's travel needs during the April 30 - May 1 holidays and the peak summer tourism season in 2025.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Health requires medical facilities to ensure full on-duty at 4 levels: leadership on-duty, professional on-duty, administrative - logistics on-duty, and security - self-defense on-duty.

Organize emergency care and medical examination and treatment well, ensure that all emergency patients are examined and treated, and do not refuse or delay emergency treatment. If the medical facility is not in the same line or specialty, it is necessary to provide initial emergency treatment and stabilize the patient and his/her family before transferring to another medical facility.

Assign permanent emergency staff to be ready and promptly respond to mass accident emergencies, serious traffic accidents, and mass disasters...

At the same time, ensure food hygiene and safety, prevent food poisoning, drowning, stampedes... warn of accidents at places with high tourist concentrations.
