Two special-class hospitals increase staff to expand treatment

Following the Government's direction, the second facility of Bach Mai and Viet Duc Friendship Hospitals in Ha Nam will be put into operation at the end of this year, after construction was suspended since early 2021. These are two special-class hospitals under the Ministry of Health.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Xuan Co, Director of Bach Mai Hospital, to ensure the reduction of the load on facility 1 and improve the quality of treatment, Bach Mai Hospital facility 2 is an extension of facility 1 (in Hanoi). In recent years, the hospital has recruited and trained, proactively managed human resources, doctors, nurses, and logistics; proactively managed the entire list of medical equipment; and at the same time, prepared for the information technology system at facility 2 to be connected with facility 1.

Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Xuan Co said that when it comes into operation, the second facility will have better conditions to serve patients because of its better infrastructure than the first facility, new and synchronized equipment, while the professional staff is equivalent. Along with the newly trained team of doctors, doctors from the first facility will take turns working at the second facility; the head of the department at the first facility will be the head of the department at the second facility, responsible for the professional expertise of the department at both facilities. The hospital estimates that a scale of 1,000 beds will require about 1,200 medical staff.

In addition, Bach Mai Hospital also proposed that the Ministry of Health submit to competent authorities for approval of phase 2, after the second facility comes into operation, to further upgrade equipment and information technology.

Regarding Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, Dr. Duong Duc Hung, Director of the Hospital, said that in previous years, he has focused on human resources, so that as soon as the second facility in Ha Nam is operational, there will be good doctors and nurses with professional expertise. The second facility with a scale of 1,000 beds, the number of workers needed is about 2,000 people to serve well the examination, treatment, and surgery, according to the specialized requirements of the leading hospital in surgery.
