Nghe An (VNA) – National Assembly Chairman Vuong
Dinh Hue attended a ceremony in central Nghe An province on April 11 where the Ministry of Health handed over a decision
recognising the Nghe An General Friendship Hospital as an end-line hospital in
medical checkup and treatment in the north central region.
Handing over the decision to the hospital, Minister of
Health Nguyen Thanh Long said that as a tertiary referral hospital providing health
check-up and treatment services, the Nghe An General Friendship Hospital will play a stronger role in the development of the health sector of Nghe An province in particular and the whole north central region
in general.
Long expressed his hope that the quality of services provided by the hospital
will continue to be improved, dealing with the overload and better
meeting the demand of residents in Nghe An as well as neighbouring provinces and Laos.

With the support of central hospitals, the 100-year-old Nghe
An General Friendship Hospital has succeeded to master 90 percent of high
medical techniques practiced in central hospitals to treat difficult and
complicated cases.
The minister asked the hospital to become a special-level hospital in the next
five years.
Stressing that the health sector is striving to enhance
medical services for people and ensuring a fair, high-quality and effective
system, Long said that the
ministry has paid special attention to facilitating poor people's access to medical services in the northwestern, northern central, south central, Central Highlands
and southwestern regions.
The recognition of the Nghe An General Friendship Hospital as an end-line hospital aims to realise this goal, he added.
Founded on September 18, 1918, the hospital is the biggest
of its kind in Nghe An with 58 faculties and nearly 1,800 staff members.
On the occasion, NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue presented two ventilators to
the hospital, while Minister Nguyen Thanh Long also handed over two others to the facility.
