Reducing the burden on patients
For many years, people in Quang Nam and Quang Ngai have often had to travel far to Hue Central General Hospital (CFF) or major hospitals in Da Nang to treat complex diseases. Traveling far away not only costs time and money, but also increases the risk of complications due to not being treated promptly.
Mr. Nguyen Hoa (58 years old, Quang Nam) had to be hospitalized every week in Hue for bone marrow transplant treatment, saying: "My family is not superficial, but every time we go to Hue for medical examination, it costs millions of dong, not including travel and accommodation costs. The mentality is also more tired.
If there is a Hue Central General Hospital, campus 3 right in Quang Nam, it will facilitate me and other patients to receive good quality treatment without having to go far".
Quang Nam Central General Hospital (located in Nui Thanh district) currently has a scale of 660 planned beds, 860 practical beds, with 35 departments and offices with 741 employees. In 2024, this hospital received more than 165 thousand medical examinations and more than 30 thousand inpatient treatments.
According to BSCKII. Nguyen Dinh Hung - Director of Quang Nam General Hospital, the Hospital strives to be a Grade 1 General Hospital by 2025 with comprehensive and comprehensive development of specialties in the fields of resuscitation, emergency, internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics, imaging diagnosis and other paraclinical diseases.
Currently, the unit has mastered many high-quality specialized techniques, especially related to cardiovascular treatment.
Ms. Vo Thi Thanh (65 years old, Binh Son district, Quang Ngai) said: "I have a serious double leaf valve opening. In the past, if I wanted heart surgery, I had to go to Hue, which was both remote and expensive. When I knew that Quang Nam General Hospital could master this technique, I decided to have surgery immediately. The heart surgery was done on the second day and he was conscious, the surgical wound was not painful, the doctor and nurse were very dedicated".
Improving the quality of medical examination and treatment
According to Prof. Dr. Pham Nhu Hiep - Director of Hue Central General Hospital, in 2025, the unit will receive the original status of Quang Nam Central General Hospital to upgrade to the 3rd facility of Hue Central General Hospital.
Hue General Hospital is one of the hospitals classified by the Ministry of Health as a group of leading specialized centers in the country, with a scale of more than 5,000 beds and many spearhead specialties. Currently, the Hospital is aiming to upgrade to become an international hospital.
The establishment of facility 3 marks an important step forward in improving the quality of regional health care. Along with the second facility in Phong Dien (Hue), Hue Central General Hospital, facility 3, will become an important medical center, meeting the needs of medical examination and treatment for millions of people.
Talking with Lao Dong, a leader of the Quang Nam Department of Health assessed that the expansion of the Hue Central Hospital to 3 locations in Quang Nam will bring many clear benefits.
"Firstly, people in the Central region no longer have to travel long distances to Hue or Da Nang for treatment, helping to save time and costs for patients, reducing the burden on upper-level hospitals. Treatment is also timely with modern equipment systems, along with a team of experienced doctors...", said the leader of the Quang Nam Department of Health.
