The five-day conference was coorganised by Hue University of Medicine and Pharmaceuticals, Hue Central Hospital and Good Samaritan Medical and Dental Ministry organisation of the US .
With four seminars, the conference offered a chance for managers, doctors, nurses and students in this field to improve their professional skills.
Delegates at the event also discussed the emergency system, especially issues regarding human resources and pre-hospital and hospital-based emergency treatment models.
