Speaking at the conference, Professor, Dr. Tran Van Thuan, Chairman of the National Medical Council, Deputy Minister of Health acknowledged the achievements that Hai Duong province has made in socio-economic development, especially in the health sector.

The Conference of the Hospital Directors Club of the Northern Provinces took place in the context of the health sector facing the need for profound innovation in thinking, organizational models and management methods to meet the increasing demands in people's health care. The theme "Smart Hospitals and Sustainable Management" is completely consistent with the actual situation and closely follows the Central's direction on strong and comprehensive digital transformation. In particular, the health sector must take the lead in developing science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation to better care for people's health.

Professor, Dr. Tran Van Thuan said that in recent years, the health sector has made many innovations, but we must frankly and seriously acknowledge some shortcomings and limitations. That is the overload situation at central hospitals while primary medical examination and treatment facilities have not been effectively exploited. Many hospitals face difficulties in human resources, shortage of doctors and differences in medical expertise between regions. The autonomous financial mechanism at hospitals is still inadequate, institutional problems affect bidding for drugs and medical equipment. Digital transformation in health has achieved initial results but is not uniform, connection and interconnectivity are still limited...

To gradually overcome difficulties and move towards the goal of sustainable development of the health sector, Professor, Dr. Tran Van Thuan requested that leaders of departments and divisions of the Ministry of Health and hospital directors thoroughly grasp the instructions of General Secretary To Lam to the health sector. Each unit needs to concretize the instructions into practical programs and action plans. In particular, focus on innovating hospital management thinking and widely applying digital transformation in management and operation. It is necessary to convert the administrative management model to modern management.

Deputy Minister of Health Tran Van Thuan hopes that the 2025 Conference of Hospital Directors Club of Northern Provinces will take place in the spirit of working together for people's health.

Opening the conference, Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Xuan Co, Director of Bach Mai Hospital, Chairman of the Club affirmed that Vietnam's healthcare sector is entering a period of development full of potential but also many challenges. Science, technology and innovation are the key to improving the quality of healthcare services, better meeting the healthcare needs of the people.

From digitalization, medical examination and treatment processes, connecting medical data to applying artificial intelligence in diagnosis and treatment. In particular, Resolution 57 on science and technology development and innovation has created a solid legal corridor, encouraging medical facilities and scientists to research, moving towards smart healthcare. As an organization that brings together healthcare managers, the Hospital Directors Club of Northern provinces recognizes the need to strengthen cooperation and share experiences to keep up with new trends, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam's healthcare sector.
