Ho Chi Minh City adds two more 115 satellite emergency medical stations.

On August 15th, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health launched two new satellite emergency stations in the former Binh Duong area (the 115 satellite station belonging to Binh Duong General Hospital and Military Hospital 4).

Delegates cut the ribbon to inaugurate the 115 Satellite Emergency Medical Station at Binh Duong General Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City).

Speaking at the ceremony, Dr. Huynh Minh Chin, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, said that the synchronized deployment of the pre-hospital emergency medical system in neighboring areas is an important step in the implementation of Project 912 of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee on the Development of a Professional Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical System in the period up to 2030 and beyond.

Therefore, satellite stations need to be well-prepared in terms of personnel, facilities, and medical equipment. Standardizing expertise in pre-hospital emergency care is necessary not only for medical staff in the emergency department but also for staff in clinical departments within the hospital, to ensure readiness to participate in all emergency situations, especially those involving mass casualties.

According to Dr. Huynh Minh Chin, the launch of the two 115 satellite emergency stations is not only a milestone in terms of scale but also affirms the health sector's determination to prioritize the health and lives of the people, especially in emergency situations.

According to Dr. Nguyen Duy Long, Director of the 115 Emergency Center in Ho Chi Minh City, before July 1, 2025, the Binh Duong area, which previously did not have a 115 Emergency Center, mainly handled pre-hospital emergency services by local medical units, lacking coordinated and unified procedures and management.

When people need emergency care, they often have to contact the nearest hospital or medical center directly, leading to disparities in the speed and quality of response.
