Since the coronavirus outbreak began in Ho Chi Minh City, every day has been a busy one for health workers at Emergency Centre 115.
In addition to transporting emergency patients to health facilities, they have been assigned a new task – transporting Covid-19 cases and those suspected of having coronavirus to health facilities and quarantine areas.They have become the “silent transporters” in the fight against the disease.
“We were one of the first units to prepare a response plan because we were aware that HCM City was at high risk. Everything had to be prepared early, ” Dr Chanh said. “I have experienced many pandemics but this is the most stressful, especially with people coming from abroad. Sometimes we have to transport seven to eight0 Covid-19 patients and suspected cases a day, not including daily emergency cases, ” said Pham Quoc Viet, head of the team, who has worked at the centre for nearly 30 years.
