Đánh giá thực trạng của xe cứu thương tại các bệnh viện Quân y

Abstract

Aims: To assess the current status of ambulances in Vietnamese Military Hospitals.
Subject and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 30 ambulances from the Military Hospitals. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, verification of technical inspection records, and analysis based on the criteria set forth in Circular No. 27/2017/TT-BYT and Decision No. 3385/QĐ-BYT issued by the Ministry of Health.
Results: A total of 83.3% of ambulances were in good operational condition; however, none fully met all the standards required. Some items had low compliance rates, such as emergency hammers (50%), anti-slip floor mats (60%), and medical staff seats (66.7%). The basic sets of medicines and medical equipment were generally adequate but lacked standardization among units.
Conclusions and recommendations: The ambulance system in Military Hospitals generally meets the operational requirements for patient transport and prehospital emergency care. Nevertheless, there is a need to standardize equipment, strengthen periodic inspection, and enhance training for prehospital emergency teams to improve effectiveness, safety, and readiness in disaster response.
