Talking to reporters, Colonel, Specialist Doctor II Vu Dinh An, Head of the Intensive Care - Poison Control Department, Military Hospital 175, said that this year's Tet duty work is deployed at the highest level. Not only performing normal emergency tasks, the unit also undertakes the requirement of "combat readiness and combat service", a special task of a military hospital.
Many days before Tet, the entire institute organized warning and combat readiness checks. The drill teams deployed forces, transported equipment to the gathering location, and carefully reviewed each vehicle and tool to ensure no errors occurred when an emergency order was issued.
The air transport emergency team maintains a standing force of 12 people, divided into rotating teams. Each team consists of 4 members on duty continuously for 3 days, ready to be present at the hospital or nearest location to depart immediately upon receiving the dispatch order.
The special characteristic of the emergency resuscitation force is that there is no concept of a complete Tet holiday. When people gather, we still perform our duties," Dr. An shared.
Careful preparation, tight organization and high readiness of the medical team are key factors to ensure that emergency helicopter trips are deployed safely and promptly throughout the long holiday.
