Quickly deploy medical response measures, contributing to overcoming the consequences caused by storm No. 10

On September 30, leaders of the Department of Health and its affiliated units went to Lao Cai General Hospital No. 1 and Yen Bai Regional Medical Center to grasp the situation and directly direct the response and recovery work caused by floods.

The Health Department working group grasped the damage recovery situation at medical facilities.

In recent days, a number of medical stations and sub-stations in the area were flooded. After the water receded, medical staff coordinated with support forces to clean up. In particular, Yen Son Medical Sub-station has completed the cleaning, but due to its location in a low-lying area, there is still a risk of flooding. Therefore, the station was temporarily moved to the old Yen Son Commune People's Committee headquarters to ensure medical examination and treatment activities for the people.

Accordingly, medical units must ensure emergency, transportation, admission and treatment; supply food and drinking water; and be ready to evacuate facilities, staff, employees and patients to safety when natural disasters or major catastrophes occur, paying special attention to vulnerable groups such as the elderly, pregnant women, children, people with disabilities and other priority groups.

The Department of Health also directed the organization to be on duty 24/24 hours, ready to receive and provide emergency care to victims of floods and storms according to the instructions of superiors, without interrupting medical examination and treatment. At the same time, ensure adequate supply of essential medicines, timely replenishment of reserves of medicines, chemicals, and materials for disaster prevention and rescue.

Emergency and mobile treatment teams are assigned to be always ready, deploy medical care, and promptly support units when necessary. In addition, the communication system during natural disasters is maintained smoothly, with a permanent staff to receive and quickly process information and ensure smooth direction from the upper level to the grassroots.
