Thanks to socialized capital sources, Dong Nai has
had more modern treatment techniques
According to the report by the provincial Department
of Health, after 2 years the health sector has achieved a lot of important
results thanks to socialized capital sources. In 2015, Dong Nai General Hospital
was inaugurated and put into use with 1,400 beds and 700 beds have been built
with socialized capital sources. In 2016, the target of having patient beds
socialized exceeded the total number of private hospital beds per 10,000 people.
The health sector has put into use 7,736 in-patient beds, reaching 26 beds per
10,000 people. Particularly, private healthcare, Dong Nai Rubber Company
Hospital and Zone B Dong Nai General Hospital has more than 1,300 beds,
accounting for 18% of the total number of beds, reaching 4.6 beds per 10,000
people. The province has 3,121 private health facilities, including 5 private
hospitals, 41 general clinics, 668 specialized clinics, 1 family doctor’s
clinic, 102 traditional medicine clinics, 1 maternity clinics, medical
eyeglasses facilities, humanitarian clinics, and Red Cross first aid points.
In the past 2 years, local public health facilities
have socialized projects and constructions with a total amount of nearly VND20
billion, which is spent on the purchase of more modern machines of artificial
kidney, ultrasound, digital X-ray, CT, and so on. The socialized projects in
Dong Nai province will continue to enjoy preferential treatment according to
decisions on the exemption of land use and lease fees for the socialized
facilities in Dong Nai province.
In order to promote socialized activities at medical
facilities, develop high-quality medical services and techniques for patients in
the coming time, the health sector’s orientations will focus on such solutions
as developing a joint venture model in health facilities to develop high quality
medical services for patients; create favorable conditions for public health
facilities to invest in material foundations and equipment with loans from
credit institutions; promote the on-demand medical examination and treatment to
diversify health care services.
In order to reduce the burden on public health
facilities, Dong Nai’s health sector has actively developed private general
clinics in inter-commune population clusters and strived to have at least 1
clinic per district by 2020; developed general clinics in industrial parks
according to models, businesses, or investors in industrial parks that invest in
clinics; strived for the target that by 2020 industrial parks will have their
general clinics. In Bien Hoa city, priority is given to attracting investment in
specialized and high-tech fields such as obstetrics, ear-nose-mouth, eyes,
cancer, hematology, rehabilitation, and so on.
The health sector will also create favorable
conditions to facilitate the development of non-public health networks;
encourage organizations and individuals to invest in building private hospitals
and general clinics, family doctor clinics and other types of medical services;
and promote the development of general clinics in industrial parks.
Improving healthcare services
In line with the health sector’s plans, socialized
activities have also aimed at the development of local pharmaceutical sector. In
particular, it is necessary to focus on investing in projects in the field of
planting and processing medicinal herbs, especially attracting projects into the
areas planned for developing biotechnology, further attracting more projects
into pharmaceutical industry, and making vaccines and medical biological
products.
