Vietnam: The physician fight disease

February 24, 2010
(Labor) - 2010, forecast to continue with the hot disease. Health sector will work with the chaos prevention services and the burden that will be pumped up as the physician.
Many service has been controlled and it is working and team doctors in hospitals as well as health workers prevent progress quietly behind the war he.




The physician has to urgently study and treatment of moderate self-protection concerns.

Hard limbs, mental stress

Faculty in almost infectious throughout the hospital (BV) in Hanoi and the Hospital for Tropical Surgeons have many years faced the disease. A "mountain" of work per day when epidemics occur. Translated influenza A/H1N1, dengue fever, acute diarrhea ... raging throughout the years and have tended to back.

For each health personnel working in infectious science have too accustomed to the isolation area must wear protective glasses, gloves, and watertight stew in the N95 mask. Zone isolation is not turned on air conditioning systems, so all member ca, remove maps protective gloves, doctor, nurse, nurse all the sweat soaked wet white blouse, traces how gloves caosu term depth where the wrist.

Perhaps the pressure is larger than those sitting in the clinic doctor. BN east to visit choking, 12 hours night still waiting for medical patients. Listening heart lung, throat soi ...

Service in the past, there have been dozens of health workers were "sticky" A/H1N1 influenza, dengue fever ... spread from the BN. And then the more they understand the concerns of patients and wish to discharge.

Prevention as the war

Each service can not be controlled regardless of the work of prevention services. Whenever patients infected with influenza A/H1N1, dengue fever, acute diarrhea ... to treatment at the medical facility immediately, the room service staff to take the road to the BN for spraying disinfection area and around the house. Health workers communes, wards to take place for the preventive medication, isolation ...

Each service has infected tens of thousands of people, also means that health workers must reserve to the patients for as long as he circled area. Hard than is the epidemiological investigation officers. The first cases were discovered as officials investigate epidemiological must take place to learn, from various forms of water, distributed ... bring test.

Sometimes hundreds of kilometers from the new model and must be careful to keep the booty to find the culprit early access pathogens. A doctor at the Faculty of the Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Epidemiology Surgeons since: When translated acute diarrhea outbreak, to test hundreds of samples distributed. Every step in the examination room wearing a mask second husband can not be drowned out the smell. Sometimes the smell of it to the people around throughout the day.

Work directly with service hotline when chaos is hard. Phone hotline of the Department of Health Preventive Health and Environment hang about influenza A/H1N1 situation does not seem to rest.

Doctor Nguyen Duc Khoa - Control of Infectious Disease Department - said that the day, every 2-3 minutes, a phone call, 1-2 am still the caller, 4-5 o'clock in the morning ringtone Now the phone calls. Phone Now every three hours to charge once. Hotline on people, their lives change as well as flu. Stories such as: The young children, should be closed at night to the room to answer the phone. Social her husband had suspected her husband Bodhi so angry ... Even going to the toilet must also include the phone.

It is hard to tell all the work of the physician against the epidemic and treat the contagious disease. And can not imagine if known disease that occurs absence of the physician.
