According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. MD. Nguyen Lan Hieu, statistics on August 16, 2021, Binh Duong had 12 deaths, compared to the same period last week, the number of deaths has decreased significantly, although the number of Covid-19 cases has increased. Thus, it proves that the 3-tier treatment system has begun to be effective. "We have done everything we can to ensure that all patients receive emergency care in a timely manner, the plans implemented from the community, from the tier 1, tier 2 and especially the tier 3, have consolidated with the expansion of Becamex International Hospital to become a hospital for severe and critical Covid-19 treatment. Another good news is that the supply of medicine and equipment is concerned by the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial People's Committee, as well as the sponsors, so we will not lack medicine for treatment. The best means to resuscitate severe Covid-19 patients have been provided by the Central government to the province. So I hope people stay calm and not panic. We have counted 10 emergency calls to 115 Emergency Center, there are cases of real emergency a lot, but there are also cases not to require emergency call due to panic, anxiety. Because of those unnecessary calls, the ambulances will be overloaded, so the vehicles will not reach the necessary places. We hope that the people will stay calm, consult and follow the instructions of the Health branch and the government, together sharing with the difficulties of the Health branch in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic" - Assoc. Prof. Dr. MD. Nguyen Lan Hieu shared.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. MD. Nguyen Lan Hieu desires people to put their trust in the team of doctors and nurses. "We're doing our best not 100% anymore but 200% of the medical staff's capacity. I am sure that not any health staff in Binh Duong province has had Saturdays and Sundays off for the past 2 months. Therefore, please try to help us, do not let information which is not good, not popular affect our treatment system. I have gone to many provinces to support the pandemic, but in Binh Duong, I still see the consensus and closeness of the provincial leaders, from the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the members of the Steering Committee for Covid-19 prevention and control at all levels, etc. are all determined to do only one thing, that is how to quell the pandemic as quickly as possible and bring life back to normal" - Assoc. Prof. Dr. MD. Nguyen Lan Hieu emphasized.
