People benefit
Previously, Ms. Vu Thi Mai Phuong in Phu Thai commune (formerly Phu Thai town, Kim Thanh district, Hai Duong province) always hesitated when choosing to examine and treat herself and her family at hospitals in the old Hai Duong province or the old Hai Phong city. From Ms. Huong's house to the medical facility in the center of the old Hai Phong city is only about 20 km, while to examine and treat at the last-line hospitals of the old Hai Duong, it takes more than 30 km. Going to the old Hai Phong is closer but not in the right line, so the health insurance benefits are less.
The merger not only helps Ms. Phuong have more options for suitable medical examination and treatment facilities but also has maximum health insurance coverage. “My family has 2 young children and elderly grandparents who regularly need health check-ups. Becoming a citizen of Hai Phong City and since July 1, health insurance has many changes, expanding benefits for participants, making my family's medical examination and treatment much simpler and more convenient. We can choose our own medical facility without worrying about low health insurance coverage,” Ms. Phuong said excitedly.

Ms. Ngo Thi Ly in Ha Bac commune (formerly in Hong Lac commune, Thanh Ha district, Hai Duong province) has a serious illness and must undergo periodic radiation therapy at a hospital in the former Hai Duong province.
Since becoming seriously ill, Ms. Ly and her family have researched and learned that some hospitals in the old Hai Phong City have specialized techniques to treat her illness. However, due to the relatively complicated health insurance procedures and administrative limitations, Ms. Ly has hesitated and has not yet used the new medical services. Therefore, when Hai Duong province and Hai Phong City became “one house”, Ms. Ly was happy because she could use services at many hospitals while still enjoying full health insurance benefits. “In the near future, in addition to being treated at hospitals in the old Hai Duong area, I will go to some hospitals in the old Hai Phong City for examination. If I find a more suitable place, I will stick with it for long-term treatment.”
Towards advanced and modern medical services
The health care of the new Hai Phong City inherits the achievements of the health sector of the two localities, which have their own strengths in health care development. While the old Hai Phong City focused on transferring specialized techniques to end-line hospitals and attracting private health care development, Hai Duong invested in and strengthened the health care at the grassroots level, improving the capacity of primary health care for the people.

Both Hai Phong City and the old Hai Duong province are localities with good treatment policies to attract human resources in the medical sector. Before the merger, the ratio of doctors per 10,000 people in Hai Phong City was 16.88. Hai Duong has an advantage in the ratio of pharmacists per 10,000 people, reaching 4.6, both higher than the national average. The merger will combine the strengths and overcome some of the previous medical limitations of Hai Phong City and the old Hai Duong province. From there, people will enjoy the best and most convenient medical services.
Hai Phong City has only 19 general and specialized hospitals at the city level, 13 private hospitals, 27 medical centers, regional hospitals and more than 370 medical stations. In addition, there are a number of hospitals under ministries and branches in the area. In addition to economic development, Hai Phong City also sets the top goal of social security and taking care of people's lives. In which, the quality of medical services plays a key role. The merger opens up opportunities but also challenges for hospitals and medical facilities to develop a development direction on the path of autonomy. From there, creating trust and prestige to attract patients, becoming a reliable address for medical examination and treatment.

According to Mr. Le Minh Quang, Director of the Hai Phong City Department of Health, based on the assessment of the current status of the city's health system after the merger, the health sector directed the facilities to strengthen coordination and professional support so that people can access high-quality health services. At the same time, it oriented the comprehensive development of the health network, combining traditional medicine and modern medicine in medical examination and treatment and focusing on preventive medicine to prevent and control epidemics...
All solutions and orientations aim to make the new Hai Phong city's healthcare system increasingly advanced, modern and synchronous, meeting the people's increasing demand for healthcare services.
