Bach Mai Hospital is currently offering 160 scholarships worth 6.6 billion VND to doctors and nurses from nine provinces to attend emergency resuscitation training courses. The information was shared by Associate Professor Dao Xuan Co during the opening ceremony of 6 technical transfer packages under Project 1816 on May 29. According to Mr. Co, improving emergency resuscitation skills, especially in lower-level medical facilities, is crucial due to the gap that has been revealed, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.
He emphasized that patients in remote areas face significant challenges in receiving timely emergency treatment, which can have serious consequences. To address this issue, Bach Mai Hospital is granting scholarships to doctors and nurses in emergency resuscitation from nine provinces. The first phase will benefit 62 doctors and 68 nurses from eight provinces with comprehensive cooperation agreements with Bach Mai.
Dr. Co highlighted the importance of developing expertise in lower-level healthcare in mountainous provinces to shorten the distance for emergency treatment. Bach Mai has established groups of line steering officers to support students both professionally and personally during their training. Over the past 25 years, Bach Mai Hospital has trained a significant number of students and experts, contributed to reducing the gap in healthcare quality between different levels, and supported grassroots medical services.
Deputy Director of the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Duong Huy Luong, commended Bach Mai Hospital for its efforts in training, cooperation, and supporting grassroots medical services. These initiatives contribute to improving the quality of healthcare services, reducing the burden on higher-level facilities, and ensuring that people in disadvantaged areas have access to the best medical care possible.
