The past five years of cooperation
between the Bach Mai Hospital and the St Anthony’s Hospital from the
State of Colorado in the US, was celebrated in Hanoi on April 8.
On addressing the event, Deputy Health Minister Nguyen Thi Xuyen applauded the close cooperative relationship that has formed between the Bach Mai Hospital and St Anthony’s Hospital over the years.
St Anthony’s Hospital has provided a substantial amount of modern medical equipment, including ventilators and defibrillators as well as the technology for a number of diagnostic tests to help the Bach Mai hospital increase the quality of care for patients in a critical condition and reduce fatalities, she noted.
She said she hoped to receive even more support from St Anthony’s to finalise the critical care, emergency and anti-toxicology departments at Bach Mai hospital and other localities nationwide.
She also hoped that St Anthony’s will help to develop paramedic services for accident victims as this is a field that St Anthony’s Hospital is strong.
Since a cooperation agreement between the Bach Mai Hospital and St Anthony’s Hospital was signed on September 1, 2005, six delegations of US professors and physicians have given lectures and delivered scientific reports on emergency systems, anti-toxicology, intensive care, cardiology, paediatrics and paramedics at the Bach Mai and Cho Ray hospitals.
Under the agreement, 17 doctors and nurses from Bach Mai Hospital spent three to six months studying anti-toxicology and intensive care in the US.
St Anthony’s Hospital has also sent its technicians to provide expertise in taking care of patients at Bach Mai Hospital’s Intensive Care Department.
On this occasion, Bach Mai Hospital granted the Hanoi Medicine University ’s Certificate of Merit and the Honorary Professor title to P rofessor Carl Bartecchi from the University of Colorado ’s School of Medicine in recognition of his support to the development of Vietnam ’s anti-toxicology and intensive care sector.
Bartecchi, who launched the hospitals’ cooperation programme, has spent a number of years working, lecturing and relating his experiences on intensive care issues to Vietnamese doctors and nurses.
He has also sought and mobilised US organisations and individuals to finance modern medical equipment as well as new books worth thousands of US dollars to Bach Mai hospital.
The same day, a two-day critical care symposium was opened at the Bach Mai hospital. Specialists and doctors nationwide discussed new applications in intensive care such as the control of pneumonia in hospitals using ventilators and progress in artificial ventilation for patients having breathing difficulties with respirators./.
