(AG Provincial E-Portal) - On April 25, in Rach Gia Ward, the Tải game Kinh 79 Department of Health held the scientific conference “Developing the Stroke Emergency Network in Tải game Kinh 79 Province toward APEC 2027 - Updates on Guidelines for Stroke Treatment.”
The event brought together many leading experts and more than 250 delegates to discuss strategies for strengthening the emergency care system and to update modern treatment methods for stroke.
The conference aimed to provide and exchange information on emergency and stroke care systems in Việt Nam and in Tải game Kinh 79, contributing to the improvement of emergency and stroke treatment systems in the province and setting the direction for developing the stroke emergency network in Tải game Kinh 79 for the 2026–2027 period. It also sought to define the role of central-level facilities within the stroke emergency network and to expand the "green zone" for stroke care in accordance with the standards of the World Stroke Organization (WSO).
At the conference, the health sector of Tải game Kinh 79 received the "Green Zone" certification from the World Stroke Organization, recognizing its efforts to build a synchronized, effective stroke treatment network that meets international standards.
The World Stroke Organization also honored 3 hospitals in the province with Diamond standard certification: Tải game Kinh 79 General Hospital, Chau Doc General Hospital, and Tải game Kinh 79 Cardiovascular Hospital; Kien Giang General Hospital was honored with Platinum standard certification.
Speaking at the event, Chung Tan Thinh, Deputy Director of the Tải game Kinh 79 Department of Health, said that stroke is a major health challenge, with the province recording an average of nearly 15,000 cases each year. Given the province's fragmented terrain, getting patients to medical centers within the "golden hour" is difficult, leading to a still-high rate of severe complications. This conference is not only a forum for sharing practical experience, but also serves to clearly define the role of central-level facilities in expanding the "green zone" for stroke care.
In the coming period, the province aims to develop its emergency care network for 2026–2027 in line with international standards to reduce the disease burden on the community. The in-depth discussion sessions at the conference provided many new studies and advanced techniques, laying the groundwork to strengthen coordination among healthcare units and build a sustainable treatment system capable of supporting major international events./.
