Solving difficulties for some public health service units

At the 34th session (special session), the People's Council of Soc Trang province, term X, passed a resolution agreeing on the policy of allocating funds to support a number of self-financed public health service units of groups 2 and 3 in the province.

Soc Trang Provincial People's Council delegates voted to pass the resolution.

Recently, the implementation of the autonomy mechanism at a number of medical centers and hospitals in the province has encountered many difficulties and obstacles, especially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in the period of 2021-2022. This has led to an imbalance in revenue and expenditure in implementing salary reform, purchasing drugs, chemicals, medical supplies, etc.

Based on the above reality, the Provincial People's Council has decided to provide funding to support units facing difficulties with a total amount of more than 67 billion VND. Of which, more than 37.5 billion VND is spent on repaying 35% of the source to implement salary reform; more than 29.8 billion VND is spent on medicine, chemicals, medical supplies and related expenses.

The resolution’s adoption will help public health units to completely resolve financial difficulties in the process of implementing the autonomous mechanism. Thereby, creating conditions for units to stabilize their operations and focus on performing well the tasks of caring for, protecting and improving people’s health.
