Hanoi has 6 specialized hospitals

Hanoi Department of Health announced that it has completed all technical and professional classification of medical examination and treatment facilities in the area according to assigned authority.

Complete 100% of technical and professional classification for medical examination and treatment facilities

This is an important effort to improve the quality of medical services in the capital and implement new regulations in the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment. According to the ranking results, 99 hospitals have been classified, of which 6 hospitals have reached the specialized medical examination and treatment level and 93 hospitals have reached the basic level.

The program of ranking technical expertise of medical examination and treatment facilities is an important step in implementing health reforms, contributing to creating a quality, equitable and effective health care system.

According to report No. 6380/SYT-NVY sent to the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management ( Ministry of Health ), Hanoi has completed the classification of 100% of its affiliated medical examination and treatment facilities.

Specifically, 6 hospitals that have achieved specialized medical examination and treatment include 3 public hospitals and 3 private hospitals: Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Hanoi Heart Hospital, Hanoi Oncology Hospital, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital, Tam Anh General Hospital, and Thien An Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.

In addition, 93 hospitals have reached the basic medical examination and treatment level, including 84 hospitals in both the public and private sectors, and 9 hospitals belonging to ministries and branches.

The Hanoi Department of Health is assessed by the Ministry of Health as the first unit in the country to complete the classification of 100% of its affiliated hospitals.

This is the result of the implementation of new regulations in the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment No. 15/2023/QH15 (dated January 9, 2023) and Decree No. 96/2023/ND-CP (dated December 30, 2023), which detail a number of articles of this Law.

The technical expertise ranking not only helps standardize medical examination and treatment facilities but also accurately reflects the professional capacity and operational status of each hospital.

According to regulations, there are three levels of technical expertise for medical examination and treatment facilities, including initial level, basic level and advanced level. This ranking is based on four groups of capacity of the medical facility: Capacity to provide medical examination and treatment services and scope of professional activities, including medical services available at the facility, level of expertise and scope of techniques performed;

Capacity to participate in medical practice training, i.e. the hospital's ability to train doctors, nurses and other medical staff; Capacity to participate in technical support for other medical examination and treatment facilities, i.e. the ability to support other medical facilities in providing services and techniques;

Medical research capacity, i.e. the level of contribution of medical facilities to medical research and innovation initiatives in the health sector.

According to health experts, this decentralization not only encourages health facilities to improve service quality but also helps to better meet professional criteria for each level, thereby improving the quality of medical examination and treatment nationwide. As a result, patients will enjoy higher quality medical services, suitable for the needs and health status of each individual.

In addition, clear decentralization also helps medical facilities be more proactive in developing and improving professional capacity, while creating opportunities for private and public hospitals to develop together, contributing to the overall development of the Vietnamese health system.

The completion of 100% of the grading in Hanoi is not only an important milestone for the capital's health sector but also a lesson for other localities across the country.

Hospitals must prepare enough emergency medicine for patients during Tet.

During the Lunar New Year 2025, the Ministry of Health requires medical facilities nationwide to fully prepare medicine, blood, infusion fluids, necessary medical equipment and devices to serve emergency work, especially in emergency situations such as traffic accidents, food poisoning and other incidents that may occur during the festive season.
