Overview of the working session.

He requested the hospital to strengthen governance and successfully fulfill assigned tasks; with every cadre, doctor, employee, and worker continuing to demonstrate fortitude and responsibility, sharing difficulties, and preserving the hospital’s reputation and technical quality.

In the immediate future, the hospital must focus highest priority on medical examination, treatment, and healthcare for the people. It must ensure continuous, safe, and quality hospital operations; fully maintain emergency duty, medicine, chemicals, medical supplies, blood, equipment, and serving conditions; preventing any shortages of pharmaceuticals or medical supplies.

In particular, he requested the hospital to continue developing specialized techniques and elevating service quality; enhancing unity within executive leadership with clear and reasonable work assignments; and placing common tasks and hospital stability and growth above all. All hospital activities must be conducted strictly within authority, procedures, and legal regulations, ensuring openness and transparency.

Emphasizing new requirements for medical examination and treatment in the upcoming period, the Provincial Chairman directed Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital not only to excel at examination and treatment but also to fulfill line-guidance functions, transfer techniques, and elevate medical care quality for lower-tier facilities in the region—opening up numerous opportunities for local residents to access advanced medical techniques. This serves as an important premise for Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital to expand and upgrade into a Special Class hospital, undertaking regional functions for the Northern Midland and Mountainous region.
