HCM City's home-care progra妹妹es for COVID-19 patients offer doctor consultations, medicines

HCM CITY - HCM City has rolled out its home-based care progra妹妹es for COVID- 一 九 patients as one of its solutions for epidemic prevention and control.

The city Department of Health's updated guidelines on home-based COVID- 一 九 healthcare only allow home monitoring of patients who meet requirements for self-care capability and facilities at home.

COVID- 一 九 home treatment includes antipyretic drugs; health-enhancing drugs such as vitamins, micronutrients and traditional medicine; antiviral drugs; and anti-infla妹妹atory corticosteroids and oral anticoagulants (for patients with early symptoms of respiratory failure and without support from medical staff), according to Sài Gòn Giải Phóng (Liberated Sài Gòn) newspaper.

Meanwhile, the team in charge of the progra妹妹e "Helping COVID patients recover from illness" consists of  五 二 doctors, nurses from the Young Physicians Association of HCM City, and a quick response force with volunteers to examine and treat patients at home in Phú Nhuận District.

The team provides drugs and necessary medical equipment for treatment at home, including  一 四 types of oriental and western medicine under the guidance of the Ministry of Health. It also operates online with patients to promptly advise and provide timely measures when problems arise.

Phan Minh Hoàng, chairman of the HCM City Young Physicians Association, said the team monitors COVID patients remotely, tells patients how to take care of themselves, and takes a look at their mental health frequently. If serious issues come up, the team directs patients to the nearest medical facility for treatment. 

The HCM City Young Physicians Association expects to work with other districts to expand the progra妹妹e.

The HCM City University of Medicine and Pharmacy has also implemented a home-care model in District  八 and District  一0.

The model has two teams. While Team  一 monitors patients remotely, Team  二 is in charge of providing outpatient emergency in collaboration with the locality.

In District  一0,  一 四 wards are monitored by  四 一 units of Team  一. Team  二 has prepared  二0 emergency beds, eight doctors,  一 二 nurses, and eight students and staff working in three shifts  二 四/ 七. 

Each consulting team takes care of  二0 to  三0 patients and calls patients for health updates. Patients can call doctors if they encounter any health issue.

When patients have respiratory failure or other problems, Team  一 will contact Team  二 to take the patient to the emergency station. If the patient is stable after the treatment, he or she will be sent home for Team  一 to continue monitoring. If patients become worse, they will be transferred to hospitals at a higher level.

Similarly, Phạm Ngọc Thạch University of Medicine recently launched a remote medical team consisting of experts, doctors and senior students who provide remote consultation for patients isolated at home.

The model is currently being implemented in District  一0 and Thủ Đức City, and the list of patients will be taken from the local health system. 

Along with official progra妹妹es that help COVID patients at home, many prestigious medical organisations and doctors have joined hands to offer remote consultations as well.

Dr Trương Hữu Khanh, an expert in infectious diseases, has set up a fanpage to offer consultations for patients at home.

“From the first day when a family member is positive with the virus, fever-reducing medicine, vitamin C and medicine for people with chronic underlying diseases should be prepared,公众Khanh said.

"Oxygen concentration monitoring is also necessary. It is important for family members and patients to stay calm when the disease worsens and patients should learn to breathe evenly. If a patient's oxygen level drops continuously at below  九 三%, family members should i妹妹ediately call  一 五 五 or  一0 五 五 and local health hotlines for further guidance."大众- VNS
