Accordingly, 13 health centers have been arranged into 5 regional general hospitals, stopping the operation of 3 health centers; 171 health stations and 2 sub-stations have been arranged into 55 health stations and 92 station points; merging Ha Long General Hospital and the Provincial General Hospital into the Provincial General Hospital; merging the Mental Health Protection Center into the Mental Health Protection Hospital into the Mental Health Health Hospital; merging the Social Work Center, the Social Protection Center, and the Children's Support and Care Facility for Children in Special Circumstances into the Quang Ninh Social Assistance Center.
After the arrangement, the health system in the province reduced a total of 128 units; reduced 27 health station headquarters; reduced 9 hospital and health center directors; reduced 6 leaders of social protection units; reduced 116 health station heads, 30 department heads and 28 department heads.
On the basis of rearrangement, the Quang Ninh health system is also restructured in the direction of clearly defining the two areas of Prevention and Treatment; improving the capacity of grassroots health care according to the general policy of the national health sector.
According to the Department of Health of Quang Ninh province, with the transfer of reserve human resources from health stations to health stations, immediately after the arrangement, the rate of doctors at health stations reached 4-6 doctors/stations, completed 2 years earlier than the national average.
Thanks to that, the basic health stations are capable of performing initial medical examination and treatment, managing people's health and implementing preventive health programs in the community.
In the first phase, health stations under the direct management of the Department of Health will no longer have an administrative intermediary layer, in accordance with the spirit of the 2-level government model. The vertical management model helps unify expertise, technical processes and monitor service quality. The roadmap of health stations after the complete and sufficient arrangement will be transferred to the People's Committees of communes, wards, and special administrative boundary areas.
Hospitals are reorganized according to the regional model. In addition to provincial hospitals and specialized hospitals, Quang Ninh will have 5 regional general hospitals spread across 5 areas in the province that both examine and treat general diseases and provide professional support to the commune level, contributing to reducing the workload at the upper level, promoting the effectiveness of facilities and human resources.
