Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) have signed an agreement to ensure the
systems will conform to the Helsinki Declaration on in
anaesthesiology.
As the first medical facility in Vietnam signing a commitment with WFSA, Vinmec
is looking forward to becoming the safest hospital for surgical anesthesia in
ASEAN.
Introduced in 2010, the Helsinki Declaration is a standard of ensuring surgical
anesthesia safety that is now being applied throughout Europe. Under the
framework of the , all medical facilities of Vinmec Medical System
will conform to standards recommended by the European Anaesthetic Association
in the operating room and ICU areas. The Vinmec medical system is committed to
developing treatment plans and medical facilities for infection control,
anaphylactic shock, multiple bleeding and postoperative pain management.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, WFSA President Jannicke Mellin Olsen, who is
also the author of the Helsinki Declaration, said that anaesthetists were
protectors for patients during anaesthetisation, intensive care and pain
management processes. In that spirit, the goal of preventing anesthesia-related
incidents was a challenge throughout the world.
Olsen said that the WFSA hailed Vinmec’s ability to comply with strict safety
requirements. WFSA will continue to provide training to improve the quality of
anesthesia practice for Vinmec doctors and nurses in efforts to expand this
model to other hospitals in Vietnam.
“With instruction and support of WFSA, Vinmec can perfect its anesthesia safety
model and realise the goal of becoming a painless hospital, providing the
optimal quality of care for patients,” said Prof. Bui Duc Phu, Deputy Director
of Vinmec Medical System.
As the first medical facility signing international commitment on patient
safety in anaesthesiology, Vinmec not only realises the goal of becoming the
safest hospital on anesthesia in Southeast Asia, but will also become the best
place for world-class health care services for people in Vietnam and in the
region.
Vinmec Medical System is non-profit health system launched in 2012 by the
Vingroup. The system consists of three components following the standard model
of the world’s leading health system, with hospital chain, research institute
and universities. The system currently has seven general hospitals,
of which two have had Joint Commission International
(JCI) accreditations. It is expected that Vinmec will have 10 hospitals
nationwide by 2020.-VNS/VNA
