On the morning of August 21, at the farewell ceremony for the delegation of doctors and students heading to Ho Chi Minh City to fight the epidemic, Director of the Military Medical Academy, Lieutenant General Do Quyet, said that the delegation was organized into 60 mobile military medical teams.
Under the direction and coordination of the Southern Epidemic Prevention and Control Command, the Working Group will take samples for testing, administer vaccines, manage, treat, and provide primary health care for common diseases;
Nearly 300 doctors and students of the Military Medical Academy at the military departure ceremony headed to Ho Chi Minh City to help people fight the epidemic, on the morning of August 21.
According to General Quyet, unlike previous rounds of work at field hospitals, this time doctors are responsible for going to wards, residential groups, and each family to detect and treat patients with Covid-19.
Therefore, the Director of the Military Medical Academy requests doctors, specialist 1, specialist 2, graduate and university students to promote the knowledge they have learned, and continue to update the Ministry of Health’s instructions.
The female military doctor before leaving for Ho Chi Minh City took care of and treated people infected with Covid-19.
Lieutenant General Do Quyet said there were two decisive points in the success of the working group: discipline and love for the people and patients.
`Among those infected with Covid-19, there may be cases of many psychological impacts, so sometimes there are words that are difficult to hear, requiring them to have a sense of responsibility and love when interacting.
Lieutenant General Do Quyet said he was very happy that with just one call, hundreds of officers, doctors, and students of the Military Medical Academy volunteered to go into the most difficult places, where people were most in need.
Lieutenant General Do Quyet, Director of the Military Medical Academy, held hands and advised the students before getting on the bus to Noi Bai airport.
On behalf of the delegation, Colonel Nguyen Anh Tuan affirmed that all delegation members felt honored to accept the tasks assigned by the Ministry of National Defense and the Military Medical Academy.
From August 21 to 23, the Ministry of National Defense plans to send 1,000 officers, military medical staff and equipment to the South to fight the epidemic by air.
In Ho Chi Minh City, the military medical force is participating in fighting the epidemic with about 2,300 people, at 7 infectious field hospitals, the Eastern Civilian Military Hospital (Military Region 7) and the Center for Treatment of Severe Covid-19 Patients under the Central Military Hospital.
At the meeting on the evening of August 19, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh assigned the military to preside over food and food for the people of Ho Chi Minh City under the unified command of the locality and coordination of other forces.
