Mong Cai strives to take care of people's health

Ninh Duong Ward Health Station (Mong Cai City) provides health consultation for women in the area.

On average, Ninh Duong Ward Health Station receives more than 200 people for medical examination and treatment each month. Most people with chronic diseases such as blood pressure, diabetes, etc. come to the station for examination and medication. Doctors and nurses maintain a 24/7 duty schedule, ensuring that first aid cases are handled and promptly transferred to higher levels.

The Ward Health Station also implements national target programs well. Accordingly, children of vaccination age are fully vaccinated; 100% of children aged 0 to 5 years old are given vitamin A twice a year and receive nutrition counseling, so the rate of malnutrition in children has decreased over the years. Reproductive health care and family planning are given attention; pregnant women are managed, have regular prenatal check-ups three times, are vaccinated against tetanus, and are supplemented with iron and multivitamins to prevent anemia. Every year, the Ward Health Station also makes a list to monitor the elderly aged 60 years and older, provides disease prevention counseling, medical examinations, and provides medication, thereby detecting diseases promptly and improving the effectiveness of treatment.

Dr. Hoang Thi Thanh Huyen, Head of Ninh Duong Ward Health Station, said: We regularly organize health promotion and consultation activities for people through the ward radio system, small group communication sessions, billboards, posters... The promotion content focuses on health care for people, prevention of infectious diseases, improving nutrition for children... thereby raising awareness of local people about health care for themselves and their families. Direct communication at health stations is also focused on, especially during expanded vaccination campaigns.
