Yen Bai’s medical sector signs cooperation agreement with Bach Mai hospital for 2022-2026.

The assistance was provided under a 2017-2021 comprehensive health cooperation and development project between the hospital and provincial authorities.

Associate Professor, Dr Dao Xuan Co, director of the Bach Mai hospital, said after half a decade, the project has made positive changes in high-quality services offered in Yen Bai.

The collaboration has seen the organisation of seven online consultations on emergency resuscitation and 14 seminars with more than 300 participants.

As a result, provincial-level general hospitals now perform 44 more advanced techniques in total. 

The province’s average rate of patients moved to higher level hospitals decreased from 5.66 percent in 2017 to 3.41 percent in 2021, with the patient satisfaction rate increasingly improved.

Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Tran Huy Tuan said Yen Bai is the first in the country to have such comprehensive health project with Bach Mai.

It is meaningful to a poor mountainous province like Yen Bai, Tuan said, pledging to sign more cooperation deals with the hospital in terms of training and technical transfer.
