On August 29, information from Binh Dan Hospital said that a working delegation led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. BS Tran Vinh Hung - Director of Binh Dan Hospital, along with 8 experts who are heads of departments and functional rooms, worked at Ba Ria General Hospital, launching a program to consolidate management capacity and expertise.
Based on surveys and actual records in the previous 2 working sessions, the two sides identified 5 key professional areas including: Thoracic Surgery - Vascular Surgery, General Surgery, Urology Surgery, Anesthesia and Resuscitation and Diagnostic Imaging.
According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Vinh Hung, Binh Dan Hospital will accompany Ba Ria General Hospital, with improved surgical capacity and readiness to coordinate inter-hospital treatment to best treat patients right in the locality. For cases of complex diseases exceeding local treatment capacity, patients will be consulted and transferred to Binh Dan Hospital in a timely manner.
With a scale of 900 beds, nearly 5,000 surgeries per year, Ba Ria General Hospital plays an important role in taking care of people's health at the southeastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City today. Through this cooperation program, Ba Ria General Hospital will be comprehensively supported through the "khoa kèm khoa, phòng kèm phòng" model.
Experts from Binh Dan Hospital will directly accompany the management team and local doctors to gradually standardize important professional procedures such as surgical safety, treatment protocols, and infection control.
In terms of expertise, the 2 units focus on developing minimally invasive surgery. To promptly support patients to be examined and treated for digestive and abdominal diseases, Binh Dan Hospital will lend 2 ultrasound machines and 1 digestive endoscopy system to supplement on-site service capacity.
In addition to remote consultations and sending on-site support experts regularly, Binh Dan Hospital will directly bring young doctors from the surgical and diagnostic imaging team to work long-term in Ba Ria.
Doctors after working at Ba Ria General Hospital, if they want to work at Binh Dan Hospital after 5 years, Binh Dan Hospital will prioritize arranging jobs. The goal is not only to solve the immediate high-quality personnel problem, but also to create conditions to build a solid on-site professional team and maintain long-term efficiency.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, in the direction of building the Ho Chi Minh City health system according to a multi-layer, multi-polar, multi-center model, an important requirement is to gradually bring in deep professional capacity from end-level hospitals in the central area to gateway and regional hospitals. The Binh Dan Hospital program accompanying Ba Ria General Hospital is a specific step in this direction, aiming for the goal of allowing people to access more and more specialized techniques right in their living area.
Previously, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health had transferred Dr. Pham Huu Doan, CKII, former Head of the General Planning Department, former Head of the Department of Women's Urology - Functional Urology of Binh Dan Hospital, to work at Ba Ria General Hospital and appointed him as Deputy Director.
