The project includes main items and auxiliary items, with full items, and will become a medical highlight of the area, meeting the needs of health care, medical examination and treatment, mineral baths, and rehabilitation for the people.

From 200 beds, it has now increased to 240 beds.

Specialist Doctor II Ngo Van Hoan, Director of the Provincial Traditional Medicine Hospital, said: “Based on the assigned targets, every year, the hospital issues a specialized resolution on developing hospital beds, in which priority is given to the area for medical examination and treatment in general and inpatient treatment in particular. In order for the resolution to come into practice, in monthly Party meetings and professional meetings, we always ask relevant departments and offices to report on the progress of implementation as well as any difficulties to be resolved, thereby improving the quality of examination and treatment.”

According to the Department of Health, after more than 4 years of implementing the Resolution of the 17th Provincial Party Congress, the target for developing hospital beds has been achieved and exceeded. The Congress target is 35 hospital beds/10,000 people; in 2024, it will reach 42 hospital beds/10,000 people, and by 2025, it is expected to be 44 hospital beds/10,000 people.

Improve the quality of medical examination and treatment

Along with the direction to increase the number of hospital beds, from 2020 to now, the health sector has sent more than 2,000 officials and employees to receive training at central hospitals and schools. After training, doctors have mastered many new techniques. In addition, Party committees and authorities at all levels have directed to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment at public health facilities; creating conditions and maximum support for private hospitals to expand the number of hospital beds.

Despite the growth compared to previous years, the province is still continuing solutions to achieve higher goals according to the Congress Resolution such as: investing in building and upgrading facilities; enhancing training and attracting medical human resources; cooperating with central hospitals; promoting digital transformation; perfecting the grassroots health system.

Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hung, Director of the Department of Health, said: “Along with the development and implementation of the hospital bed development plan of the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Health is coordinating with sectors and localities to advise on contents related to the health sector in the draft documents of the Provincial Party Congress for the term 2025 - 2030. In particular, focusing on advising on solutions to improve the quality of health care for people, improve the quality of the population, policies on training linkage and development of the scale of hospital beds in the coming period".

Adhering to this goal is not only the task of the health sector but also requires close coordination from all levels, sectors and the support of the whole society.
