Bach Mai Hospital is on duty 24/24 hours
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dao Xuan Co, Director of Bach Mai Hospital, said that emergency work is identified as a priority task throughout the holidays. The A9 Emergency Center at the Hanoi facility maintains a 24/24 hour on-duty force, ready to receive, classify and handle emergency patients. The hospital requests units to implement the principle of not refusing and not delaying emergency care for patients.
At Ninh Binh facility, the Emergency - Intensive Care - Poison Control Department also maintains a continuous standing force, ready to receive patients in the locality and surrounding areas.
For patients undergoing inpatient treatment, key units such as Stroke, Intensive Care, Anti-poison, Pediatrics, Anesthesia and Resuscitation and the Surgical system strengthen monitoring. Unit leaders directly go to the room daily to detect early cases at risk of severe progression for timely treatment.
Not only maintaining emergency care, Bach Mai Hospital still organizes outpatient examinations during holidays. At the Hanoi facility, the Center for Medical Examination and Treatment on the same day arranges personnel, ensuring the minimum examination capacity is about 1/3 of a normal working day.
At Ninh Binh facility, specialized clinics with high demand are also staffed, contributing to meeting the needs of medical examination and reducing pressure on the emergency system.
In particular, patients who need periodic treatment are still guaranteed treatment. The Nephrology - Urology and Hemodialysis Center maintains an artificial kidney dialysis schedule according to the cycle.
The hospital also proactively forecasts medicines, intravenous fluids, blood and blood products, medical supplies, testing chemicals and necessary resources. Electricity, water, communication and ambulance systems are maintained in a state of readiness.
National Children's Hospital examines and provides emergency care as usual
Meanwhile, the National Children's Hospital announced that during the 5-day holiday, from August 29th to the end of September 2nd, the hospital will still receive general medical examinations, emergency care 24/24 hours and treatment for children as usual.
The examination schedules of some specialties, International Centers and vaccination activities are updated separately by the hospital so that parents can proactively arrange time to take their children for examination.
The hospital recommends that parents who need to see a specialist or use medical services should contact in advance for advice and guidance.
Viet Duc Friendship Hospital only receives emergency care during the holidays
Unlike Bach Mai Hospital and the National Children's Hospital, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital announced that during the holiday from August 29th to the end of September 2nd, it will only receive emergency patients, and will not organize medical examinations and normal medical services.
The hospital's multi-channel online customer care center and 19001902 appointment switchboard are still operating 24/24 hours on holidays, helping people proactively contact when information is needed.
The hospital is expected to return to normal work from September 3rd.
Central Military Hospital 108 maintains emergency 24/7
During this time, the Emergency Department of the hospital still maintains operation 24/7, ensuring the reception and handling of emergency cases throughout the holidays.
The fact that hospitals proactively develop on-duty plans, maintain emergency forces and prepare sufficient medicines and medical supplies contributes to ensuring that people still have timely access to medical services during the National Day holiday.
People who need medical examination during holidays need to proactively check the work schedule of each hospital, especially for specialized examination services and examinations not subject to emergency, to avoid wasting time or having to change the schedule.
