This reform is expected to serve as a powerful engine for the sustainable development of the local healthcare system, ensuring that quality medical services are accessible even in the most remote corners of the region.

The resolution clearly identifies public health as a nation’s most valuable asset and a primary driver for development. This philosophy places community health at the heart of the regional development strategy, ensuring fairness and social progress. The overarching spirit of this policy is that every citizen must be able to access essential medical services, ensuring that no one is left behind. To uphold this, the health sector of the province is undergoing a total transformation, focusing on the grassroots level as the foundational frontline of care. A key strategy involves rotating experienced doctors and medical staff from higher levels to commune and ward health stations, particularly in difficult and mountainous areas.

In December 2025, Nguyễn Thế Dũng, a doctor from the intensive care and poison control department of the provincial general hospital, was deployed to the Pú Nhung commune health station. His expertise has been instrumental in handling emergency cases and complex treatments directly at the local level, which has significantly limited unnecessary transfers and built profound trust among the villagers.

Digitalization is now a mandatory requirement for healthcare efficiency. The province has focused on completing a comprehensive health data system, including electronic health records and smart medical services. Currently, all medical facilities in the region use chip-based ID cards and the VNeID application for insurance-linked check-ins. From January 1 to September 10, 2025, the province recorded more than 510,000 health insurance visits, with 96.14% of these conducted through digital identification, achieving a success rate of 99.47%. By the end of 2025, every public hospital in the province had successfully transitioned to electronic medical records, laying a vital foundation for modern patient management and follow-up care.

The Thanh An Medical Center was among the first to fully adopt electronic medical records for both inpatient and outpatient services. Lò Thị Thu Hiền, head of the laboratory and imaging department, noted that the reduction in paperwork has eased the pressure on staff while speeding up laboratory results through automatic data synchronization. After samples are taken, information is updated and connected automatically, allowing results to be transferred instantly to the relevant departments. This transition reflects a high level of proactivity and a determination to enhance the quality of medical examination and treatment through comprehensive digital transformation.

Under the two-level local government model, the provincial health system is organized into four provincial-level hospitals, four specialized centers, ten district medical centers, and 45 commune and ward health stations. The province is prioritizing the 2025–2030 human resource development project, which focuses on training young staff and specialists in high-tech fields. Thousands of health workers have been sent for advanced training and scientific collaboration to meet the growing demands of modern medicine.

At the provincial General Hospital, the focus extends beyond technical skills to the cultivation of medical ethics and behavioral culture. Trần Đức Nghĩa, the deputy director of the provincial General Hospital, emphasized that every physician must not only be technically skilled but also deeply devoted to their profession, keeping the patient as the center of all medical activity. By refining incentive policies and innovating health financing mechanisms, the province aims to ensure that healthcare workers can commit to their mission with peace of mind, ultimately strengthening the public’s faith in the local medical system.
