On the afternoon of January 18, the Ministry of Health launched a comprehensive inspection of emergency medical services at all accommodation sites for delegates attending a top-level national event. This operation ensures that all healthcare, epidemic prevention, and food safety protocols are implemented at the highest standards.
The medical support system for the event operates on a 24/7 basis with several key focuses:
-
On-site Infrastructure: Each hotel and guest house has established a medical room equipped with essential medications, supplies, and emergency equipment according to standardized lists. Communication between medical teams and hotel reception is streamlined for rapid response.
-
Support Network: Major hospitals in Hanoi are required to reserve 5 to 10 emergency beds specifically for this event. Additionally, ambulances and mobile medical teams are on standby for pre-hospital emergencies.
-
Elite Personnel: Medical staff have been carefully selected based on their expertise as well as their communication skills in international environments.
Beyond clinical care, environmental sanitation, water quality monitoring, and food safety inspections are being strictly coordinated with the Vietnam Food Administration and the Hanoi CDC. The entire healthcare system views this as a top political priority to ensure the absolute safety and success of the event.
