Bach Mai Hospital: You should choose Tam Nuong and Nguyet Ky days to go for medical examination.

Bach Mai Hospital is often overloaded because of the large number of people coming for examination every day.

Faced with a situation where many patients are crowded and waiting for medical examination and treatment, Bach Mai Hospital has just issued a recommendation to change the habit of going to the doctor.

According to the hospital, mornings are usually the busiest time for patients, so people can consider going in the afternoon or evening (outside of office hours). Currently, the hospital is open from 6am to 8pm, Monday to Friday; and from 6:30am to 4:30pm on Saturday and Sunday.

With this time frame, patients can easily arrange their work and choose a time for more convenient medical examination. After-hours medical examination and treatment still fully meets the needs of specialties, procedures, tests, imaging, etc.

Patients who need endoscopy or blood tests can fast at noon and come for examination in the late afternoon, then can have dinner as usual.

People should choose to see a doctor outside of office hours at Bach Mai Hospital to avoid crowding.

In particular, the hospital recommends that patients consider choosing the 15th and 1st of the lunar month, the Tam Nuong and Nguyet Ky days (according to folk beliefs, the 3rd, 7th, 13th, 18th, 22nd and 27th of the lunar calendar) to go for a check-up, because usually the number of people coming for a check-up on these days is less.

In addition, people should absolutely avoid going to the clinic on Tuesdays to avoid crowds and waiting.

Along with that, to get a medical examination at Bach Mai Hospital, people can make an appointment in advance through many forms, such as: Call center 1900.8888.66 or Website https://dkkham.bachmai.gov.vn/dat-lich, App Bach Mai Care.
