Accordingly, storm No. 3 with very strong intensity and the floods and landslides after the storm caused particularly serious consequences to people, property, public works and people's lives.
Many medical facilities were affected and damaged, especially in provinces and cities such as Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Thai Binh, Hung Yen, Hai Duong, Hanoi, Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Thai Nguyen, Tuyen Quang, Lang Son, Hoa Binh and many other provinces.
In that context, hospitals, medical centers, health stations, etc. still stand firm, ensuring medical examination and treatment to serve the people.
According to local reports, there has been no case that has not received emergency care and timely treatment. Hospitals have prepared to deal with the super typhoon, moving patients and equipment to higher floors, preparing human resources, medicine, generators, etc. to treat patients.
At some hospitals in Hai Phong City and Quang Ninh Province, due to prolonged power outages and running out of fuel to run generators, staff were mobilized to squeeze balloons by hand, wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly saving the lives of patients.
Medical facilities in the northern mountainous provinces have actively treated victims buried or injured by the storm and the rain, wind, and landslides after the storm; many medical staff have waded through mud and floods with the people to cope with and overcome the consequences...
The Ministry of Health highly appreciates and warmly commends the spirit of sacrifice and selfless work of medical staff in localities.
In order to continue to quickly overcome the consequences of storms and floods, the Ministry of Health requests that hospitals with professional conditions and not affected by storms and floods be ready to support and establish a working group to increase human resources for treatment and disease prevention for hospitals affected by storm No. 3.
