The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assessed that over the past years, especially during the Covid-19 outbreak, Hai Duong Tropical Diseases Hospital has always fulfilled its tasks well, contributing to Hai Duong's step-by-step control and containment of the pandemic, bringing life back to a new normal state, promoting rapid and sustainable recovery and development of the local socio-economy. However, in order to meet the requirements and tasks in the new situation, the hospital needs to continue to invest in infrastructure, equipment, medical supplies, especially constantly improving the quality of human resources.

It is recommended that in the coming time, the Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee and the Department of Home Affairs continue to advise on the full complement of Deputy Directors, leaders of departments and professional offices of Hai Duong Tropical Diseases Hospital. The Department of Health has a plan to train and create conditions for hospital staff to fully participate in national projects to fully update new knowledge in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and in the prevention of HIV/AIDS.

The new Director of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases is responsible for reviewing and proposing to the province a plan for training and improving the quality of human resources, meeting immediate and long-term requirements, ensuring continuity. Immediately start checking and reviewing facilities and equipment, promptly proposing renovations and upgrades for the province to consider investing.

The difficulties, obstacles, and recommendations of the sector, including Hai Duong Tropical Diseases Hospital, will be paid attention to and gradually resolved by the province. In the near future, Hai Duong plans to issue new policies in supporting training and attracting human resources for this sector.

We request that the officers, civil servants and employees of the Tropical Diseases Hospital promote the spirit of solidarity, work with peace of mind, contribute, and soon build the unit into a bright spot in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in the region.
