Deputy Minister Do Xuan Tuyen emphasized that in case of natural disasters, Hue Central Hospital must maintain and ensure emergency care and treatment for inpatients, and at the same time have mobile emergency teams ready to support external hospitals in case of serious incidents.

Deputy Minister Do Xuan Tuyen requested Hue Central Hospital to strengthen and perfect the hospital's Civil Defense Command Board, in which the hospital director is the head of the board.

The Command Committee should be organized with two sub-committees: the forward sub-committee, which establishes mobile emergency teams, with adequate medicine and medical supplies. The rear sub-committee ensures logistics, treatment, and on-site patient care.
