The reason for the sharp increase in unemployment in recent years is due to the low basic salary and benefits for medical staff and doctors, not commensurate with the effort put in.

Meanwhile, private hospitals have many attractive policies regarding salaries and benefits...

In addition, during the 2 years of Covid-19 pandemic, the work pressure in the medical industry was great but the revenue was not enough to cover expenses when the hospital operated under a financial autonomy mechanism.

Due to the epidemic, the hospital bed occupancy rate has dropped to 72%, and health insurance examination and treatment expenses exceeding several billion VND have not yet been paid.

The resignation of some highly qualified doctors has significantly affected the operation of the hospital. Many young, well-trained and skilled doctors have also moved to other units with attractive salaries.

To ensure good human resources for medical examination and treatment, the provincial hospital has screened and arranged suitable job positions. At the same time, it has recommended that superiors continue to add more staff to meet the needs of medical examination and treatment.
