The Ministry of Education and Training has announced several decisions regarding personnel matters.GD&TĐ - On the morning of May 5th, the Ministry of Education and Training announced several decisions regarding personnel matters. These decisions aim to streamline the organizational structure and meet the demands of the new phase.

According to a hospital leader, the reappointment of heads and deputy heads of departments is currently decided by the hospital's board of directors. However, due to various reasons, the appointment process is lengthy, the hospital lacks a director (currently the deputy director is in charge), the candidates nominated for the positions lack the necessary qualifications, and the confidence vote has not been successful…

Regarding the position of hospital director, the Can Tho City Department of Health stated that Mr. Tran Quoc Luan, director of Can Tho City General Hospital, recently requested leave for medical treatment, which was approved by the competent authority. The first leave was for 6 months (from June 1, 2023 to November 30, 2023), and the second was for 3 months (from December 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024).

During this period, Mr. Huynh Minh Phu, deputy director of Can Tho City General Hospital, was assigned to take charge of and manage the hospital. Because the hospital director's sick leave request was divided into two periods, the extension of this temporary position was also divided into 6-month and 3-month terms, handled by the City Party Committee's organizational department.

In the coming period, after the hospital director's sick leave expires, the head of the Department of Health stated that the reappointment of the hospital director will have to wait for the conclusion of the investigation by the Can Tho City Police Department regarding the case related to the procurement of COVID-19 testing kits by Viet A Company at Can Tho City General Hospital.

Regarding the shortage of medicines, medical supplies, and slow repair of damaged equipment, the hospital leadership stated that due to general difficulties in personnel management, the bidding process for purchasing medicines, chemicals, medical supplies, and equipment, as well as issues related to hiring services to support hospital operations (cleaning, security, canteen, etc.), has also encountered difficulties, leading to delays.
