At Go Vap Hospital, on average, the unit receives about 2,000 patients per day. During Tet, the number of people coming for service examinations and examinations during office hours tends to decrease. However, emergency and treatment work is still maintained strictly, without allowing negligence or interruption.
According to Dr. Dinh Van Duoc, Deputy Director of Go Vap Hospital, right from about a month before Tet, the hospital completed the Tet duty plan, assigning 100% of the troops to be on duty in rotation, ensuring sufficient personnel for emergency and intra-hospital and extra-hospital treatment activities. At the same time, the hospital also proactively coordinates plans, ready to respond to emergency situations occurring in the area.
We arrange sufficient personnel, maintain an inter-hospital emergency system so that people who unfortunately have to be hospitalized during Tet can still be received and cared for in time," Dr. Duoc said.
At Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital - a final-line hospital specializing in treating tumor and tumor diseases - preparations for Tet are always placed at a high level. For many years, in addition to building emergency duty plans, the hospital has also proactively stockpiled enough medicine and medical supplies to ensure continuous treatment for patients who have to be hospitalized throughout Tet.
Doctor Diep Bao Tuan, Director of Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital, said that the hospital has developed a plan to be on duty during the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026 with the requirement to ensure sufficient personnel at all levels, departments, and rooms. The Emergency Department and the inpatient treatment departments are still operating 24/24 hours throughout the Tet holiday, ready to receive and treat patients.
During Tet days, inpatients are still examined and cared for daily by doctors and nurses as usual. For severe cases, the hospital strengthens monitoring and special care to ensure the safety of health and life for patients.
In addition, in the context of the expanding administrative boundaries of Ho Chi Minh City, the demand for emergency and treatment is increasing, hospitals in the city have strengthened connections, ready for inter-hospital consultations in many direct and online forms. The highest goal is to ensure that people are given timely emergency care and treatment if they unfortunately encounter health problems during Tet.
