On speaking and congratulating the health service on February 27th, the provincial Vice – Chairwoman Huynh Thi Nga sent her gratitude to its staff. Over the past time, the team of nurses and doctors has attempted to provide medical treatment and healthcare for public. Health service has constantly invested in facilities, state-of-the-art equipment and machinery, training, and improving the quality of its medical team to ensure a better and better public healthcare. Nevertheless, the human resourses are limited and the manners of service and communicative skills of part the team of nurses and doctors have annoyed patients. A number of clinics have had inadequate investment. The Vice – Chairwoman suggested that with compassion, doctors try to get over difficulties and better look after patients. Each staff must make more effort. At first, it is necessary to make a plan, follow health service socialization, quickly apply new technology to diagnosis and treatment, encourage more doctors to work in clinics, have a rotating doctor transfer from high – level clinics to lover – level ones, promote medical development in industrial parks and school medical care, diversify types of medical examination and treatment and encourage the investment in private clinics.
