Traveling far for treatment not only takes a lot of time but also costs a lot of money for people. Therefore, the health sector of Ca Mau is making efforts to improve the quality, helping people feel secure in receiving treatment in their home province.
Increasing treatment capacity
As the leading hospital of Ca Mau province, in recent years, Ca Mau General Hospital has deployed many advanced medical techniques, many dangerous diseases that people previously had to go to higher levels can now be treated in the province. Thereby, reducing costs and burdens for people.
Dr. To Minh Nghi, Director of Ca Mau General Hospital, said that the hospital has performed coronary intervention, including thrombectomy, balloon angioplasty, and stent placement, for patients with acute myocardial infarction. Temporary and permanent pacemaker placement for patients with arrhythmias. Endovascular stroke intervention, such as applying advanced techniques in stroke treatment, such as using thrombolytic drugs (intravenous and intra-arterial), balloon angioplasty, and endovascular stent placement to re-open cerebral blood vessels, and occluding cerebral vascular malformations with coils.
Implement cancer treatment; perform complex tumor resection surgeries, apply advanced chemotherapy regimens, implement modern radiotherapy methods, use drugs that target specific cancer cells to increase effectiveness and reduce side effects. Implement new techniques, especially minimally invasive surgery to minimize pain and shorten recovery time for patients...
Dr. To Minh Nghi also informed that Ca Mau General Hospital has identified three strategic goals to consolidate its position as the province's leading medical facility, such as: Continuing to send doctors and technicians to participate in training courses at central hospitals and leading specialized hospitals in the region; focusing on areas such as neurosurgery, complex cardiovascular interventions, and interventional techniques for organs and peripheral vessels.
Strengthen cooperation with domestic and foreign experts through consultation, training and transfer programs in the form of "hands-on" right at the hospital to quickly master new techniques and technologies. Develop and apply competitive remuneration policies, create a professional working environment, encourage scientific research to attract qualified doctors, pharmacists and nurses to work at the hospital.
Similarly, Dr. Truong Minh Kien, Deputy Director of the Ca Mau Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, said that the hospital has routinely deployed many advanced techniques, helping people receive safe and effective treatment right in the province. Therefore, in the coming time, the Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital will focus on standardizing core competencies according to the model of a modern obstetrics and pediatrics center, both expanding techniques and improving patient safety.
Regarding human resources, the hospital has implemented a competency framework based on job positions for each key block; designed a career path to retain talent. Along with that is a mechanism for periodic consultation and technology transfer, and assessment of skills based on case records, quality indicators and patient feedback.
In recent times, the team of doctors at Thanh Vu Medic Bac Lieu Hospital has saved the lives of many patients with serious illnesses, cases that were "hanging by a thread". Thereby, bringing a lot of confidence to patients. According to statistics, after 6 years of developing cardiovascular interventions, the Interventional Cardiology Center of Thanh Vu Medic Bac Lieu Hospital has performed coronary angiography and intervention for more than 700 cases, saving the lives of hundreds of patients with acute myocardial infarction in the "golden hour" with a success rate of over 98%. Currently performing specialized techniques including: coronary angiography, dilation, stent placement, peripheral vascular intervention, temporary pacemaker placement, and treatment of dangerous arrhythmias.
In addition, the hospital's oncology department currently implements a full range of chemotherapy, endocrine, targeted therapy and palliative care treatments; minimally invasive techniques: RFA (radiofrequency ablation), TACE (vascular chemoembolization), biopsy, FNA, VABB, screening endoscopy; treatment of lung, breast, liver, colorectal, stomach, thyroid, cervical, and prostate cancers. The hospital also implements total knee and hip replacement. Surgery for herniated discs and spinal cord injuries causing spinal cord compression can be performed with 6 - 8 mm endoscopic microsurgery.
Performing advanced endoscopic stone techniques. Undertaking complex surgeries equivalent to central line: Endoscopic total nephrectomy, renal pelvis-ureter junction reconstruction and coral stone surgery, endoscopic resection of prostate-bladder tumors and ultrasound-assisted prostate biopsy for early prostate cancer screening.
Reduce referrals to higher levels
Director of the Department of Health of Ca Mau Nguyen Chi Thanh affirmed that developing high-tech medical technology is one of the key directions to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment, meeting the increasing health care needs of the people. This contributes to helping people in Ca Mau have access to high-quality medical services right in the locality, reducing the financial burden when suffering from serious illnesses and some specialized diseases, reducing the need to transfer to Ho Chi Minh City or other provinces for treatment, which is both costly and overloads the upper-level hospitals.
For the public system, focus on investing in modern and synchronous equipment, combined with training and attracting specialized medical human resources to develop Ca Mau General Hospital, Bac Lieu General Hospital, and Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital into leading hospitals in the province, with specialized levels, developing advanced techniques with key specialties such as interventional cardiology, oncology, emergency resuscitation, trauma - orthopedics, obstetrics - pediatrics, and advanced diagnostic imaging.
Currently, Ca Mau is developing a project to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment at public health facilities in the period 2026-2030. Focusing on specialized training, sending staff to study at hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City and at the same time receiving the transfer of many new specialized techniques. Ca Mau is also implementing remote medical examination and treatment activities, online consultation with upper-level hospitals to transfer techniques, shortening the process of mastering new techniques. Building a quality control mechanism, professional procedures, and patient safety uniform for both public and private sectors.
For the private system, private hospitals and clinics are encouraged to invest in modern equipment, apply advanced techniques, and meet professional standards. Specifically, Thanh Vu Medic Bac Lieu General Hospital and Hoan My Hospital have deployed many advanced techniques, contributing to the Ca Mau health sector in improving the quality of medical services for the people.
