After
listening to opinions from experts and localities, Long said that the establishment of the mobile medical station is crucial, especially in HCM City and other
localities that cannot manage and treat COVID-19 patients in concentrated
medical facilities anymore.
The
minister underlined that communes and wards are considered as “strongholds” in pandemic prevention and control.

the current pandemic situation, especially during the period of social distancing, the
provision of caring and treatment services for COVID-19 patients is a great challenge, he said,

medical services.

terms of equipment and personnel. However, they will follow standards in primary health care for people with
common illnesses. The stations will also mange, take care of and treat COVID-19 patients in
the community whose conditions are controllable.

ministry so that it can
make a suitable assistance plan./.
