At the Central Highlands General Hospital, Mr. Thinh is stabilizing the hospital's general operations; encouraging doctors and medical staff to make efforts and try to promote their capacity to treat and care for patients.

Recently, a working delegation from Binh Dan Hospital (HCMC) had a working session at the Central Highlands General Hospital to assess the current situation and plan to provide urological expertise support to the hospital.

During the meeting, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thinh admitted that the hospital still faces many difficulties in terms of specialized human resources, equipment and advanced techniques in the field of Urology.

Complex techniques such as endoscopic urological surgery, extracorporeal lithotripsy, urinary cancer treatment... are still limited.

The leaders of the Central Highlands General Hospital hope that Binh Dan Hospital will provide professional support, training and transfer of urological techniques to help the hospital improve its treatment capacity.

Here, the Board of Directors of Binh Dan Hospital informed about their readiness to coordinate with the Central Highlands General Hospital to develop a support plan such as sending doctors for on-site training, organizing specialized surgeries, and transferring technical treatment procedures to the hospital.

As Dan Tri reported, on October 3, Mr. Nguyen Dang Giap, Director of the Central Highlands General Hospital, was prosecuted and temporarily detained to investigate the crime of Lack of responsibility causing serious consequences related to the incident of a broken lithotripsy machine but still declared lithotripsy for 255 patients.

On October 4, the Dak Lak Department of Health assigned Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thinh, Deputy Director of the Central Highlands General Hospital, to manage the hospital to ensure the hospital's work is resolved while waiting for new instructions from competent authorities.

However, on October 8, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thinh submitted a request to not accept the position of being in charge of the Central Highlands General Hospital.

Mr. Thinh believes that the backlog at the hospital is beyond his ability and must be resolved by the Department of Health. Therefore, he asked not to accept the assignment to focus on directing professional activities at the hospital.

On October 14, the People's Committee of Dak Lak province held a meeting to review the operations of the Central Highlands General Hospital.

The Dak Lak Provincial Police Investigation Agency has prosecuted and temporarily detained Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoang, former Head of the Department of Surgery - Nephrology and Urology, and Mr. Bui Ngoc Duc, former Head of the Department of Surgery - Anesthesia - Resuscitation, Central Highlands General Hospital, for the crime of "Abusing position and power while performing official duties".

Mr. Nguyen Dang Giap, former Director of the Central Highlands General Hospital, was prosecuted and temporarily detained for the crime of Lack of responsibility causing serious consequences.

The defendants were prosecuted for their involvement in the incident where the laser lithotripsy machine was broken and unusable, but the Central Highlands General Hospital still performed the endoscopic lithotripsy procedure against the procedure on 255 people.
