Hospitals for COVID-19 treatment in Ho Chi Minh City have been in dire need of more ambulances added to their current fleet of only one or two vehicles to help improve the transportation of severe patients.
Dr. Nguyen Thanh Tam, general planning manager at the COVID-19 field hospital No.1 established inside the campus of the Vietnam National University-Ho Chi Minh where nearly 250 doctors and health workers are treating about 4,500 asymptomatic patients in Thu Duc City, said at least 20-30 severe cases there needed to be transferred to higher-level hospitals on a daily basis.
