On July 11, Associate Professor, Dr. Tang Chi Thuong - Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health - said that the unit has urgently deployed a series of activities when assigned the task of taking care of the health of over 14 million people.

These are priority issues that need to be done immediately, especially for people living in Binh Duong province and the former Ba Ria - Vung Tau province.

The Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health shared that the hotline numbers for people's complaints are being strengthened.

Specifically, the hotline of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health is 096.777.1010. This is the channel to directly receive people's feedback related to the quality of medical examination and treatment services, the service attitude of medical staff, as well as the problems arising at medical facilities in the city.

All feedback information will be recorded, compiled, verified and forwarded to the competent authority for timely handling by the Department of Health, contributing to protecting the legitimate rights of people when accessing and using health care services in the area.

People can send feedback related to the health sector through the website https://cong1022.tphcm.gov.vn or use the mobile application "1022 TP.HCM" to be received and processed according to the correct procedure.

In addition, the "Online Health" application is being upgraded by the Department of Health to suit the 2-level government model when there are no longer health departments in districts (old) to coordinate handling when receiving people's feedback.

People's participation in the process of reflecting and responding to information after reflecting not only contributes to protecting their legitimate rights, but also helps build a public and transparent health system, taking people's health as the center of all activities of the health sector.

In addition, the Department of Health has directed the Ho Chi Minh City Emergency Center to upgrade the 115 call center to meet the need for emergency support for people in the former Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau provinces.

Associate Professor, Dr. Tang Chi Thuong encourages people to use the above channels to receive feedback from people in the health sector to promptly reflect and contribute ideas on issues related to medical examination and treatment activities and health services in the city.

Each feedback with complete and accurate information will help the management agency promptly receive and handle violations (if any), contributing to improving the quality of service at medical facilities.

In the near future, the Department of Health will build a Dashboard to synthesize and classify people's feedback by connecting hotline numbers and online medical apps to promptly record, analyze, plan inspections, monitor and promptly resolve people's legitimate feedback.
