Private health care alongside public health care

Private healthcare contributes to improving the quality of medical examination and treatment through investment in modern facilities and equipment; at the same time, it reduces the burden on public hospitals by providing more medical service options for people.

After the merger, Da Nang has more than 1,770 private medical facilities. Along with the public health system, private hospitals and clinics are constantly investing in infrastructure and modern, advanced equipment to serve the health care, examination and treatment of the people.

More choices of medical services

On average, every day, Da Nang Family General Hospital receives about 1,500 people for examination and treatment. According to the hospital's leaders, in addition to examining and treating common diseases, the hospital develops key specialties such as: cardiovascular, endocrinology, stroke, musculoskeletal, reproductive support...

Dr. Tran Duc Thang, Gia Dinh General Hospital, said that the hospital focuses on building a team of medical staff with good expertise and dedication to their work. At the same time, it invests in modern medical equipment to serve the diagnosis and treatment work and builds a process for examination, appointment scheduling, and quick return of results to improve the quality of examination and treatment, optimizing the patient experience when coming for examination and treatment.

Considered one of the “leading birds” of the private healthcare system in the Central region, Hoan My Da Nang Hospital has pioneered in improving the quality of healthcare services. With a scale of more than 370 beds, along with continuous improvement, quality enhancement and continuous learning and transfer of experience from domestic and foreign units, Hoan My Hospital aims for high international quality standards in care and treatment.

The leaders of the city's Department of Health affirmed that private healthcare plays an important role in increasing the total supply of hospital beds, medical examination and treatment facilities and specialized services. This reduces pressure on public hospitals. In particular, the participation of the private sector helps people have more choices of services and faster access time.

Develop specialized services

It is undeniable that the development of private healthcare contributes to the development of specialized services, while creating positive competitive pressure, encouraging public hospitals to improve service quality, innovate attitudes, and improve facilities. In particular, investment from the private sector supplements resources for infrastructure and medical equipment; creates conditions for public-private partnerships, private preventive medicine, and advanced fee-for-service medical service models.

In recent years, Danang Hospital has continuously applied and updated many new, minimally invasive techniques in treatment, opening up treatment opportunities with modern methods for patients.

According to Dr. Truong Nguyen Thoai Nhan, Director of Hoan My Da Nang Hospital, the unit has stepped up investment in the most modern machines and equipment in the region in diagnosing and treating stroke and cancer, contributing to completely changing the approach in early cancer detection, bringing opportunities for early detection and treatment to many patients.

Like Hoan My Hospital and other private medical facilities, Da Nang Family General Hospital constantly focuses on investing in modern medical equipment to meet the increasing medical examination and treatment needs of the people.

Doctor Tran Duc Thang said that medical equipment and facilities are one of the key investments of Gia Dinh General Hospital. Modern machinery and equipment are a powerful arm to support doctors in diagnosis and treatment.

The leaders of the City Health Department affirmed that private healthcare is an important and indispensable resource to expand healthcare capacity and diversify services. However, this development needs to be closely coordinated and monitored to ensure safety, efficiency, fairness and conformity with the goal of universal healthcare...

Therefore, in addition to continuing to have policies to encourage the development of private healthcare, the Department of Health will strengthen inspection and professional examination; as well as monitor the implementation of technical standards and professional ethics...

At the same time, build a transparent public-private partnership mechanism, coordinate resources in overload or emergency situations. In particular, encourage private healthcare investment in difficult and mountainous areas through preferential mechanisms and socially responsible public-private partnerships.
