Dr. Luong Cong Thuc, Deputy Director of Military Medical Hospital 103, Director of the No. 2 Infectious Field Hospital confirmed so. His words are like an oath, a declaration of war against the Covid enemy right in the middle of the “fire pan” in Bac Giang right now. At 8:00 am on June 3, the second online consultation of the day by Dr. Thuc and his colleagues. The working atmosphere is urgent and serious, all computers, 4G-enabled smartphones, and the Internet system of 14 doctors and nurses are ready to connect with a stable connection.

The electronic medical record is designed on the open source Kobotoolbox. This is an online tool for data collection and management, making scientific research activities easier and more accurate. Doctor Pho shared: “The electronic medical record is designed on the open source Kobotoolbox. We use this medical record along with online consultations and briefings with Zoom software to discuss the patient’s treatment regimen. This solution best conveys information by both headphones and eyes (especially X-ray films of the patient’s lungs), promoting effective treatment of patients in specific conditions.” The battle is still long After many outbreaks in Bac Giang, the Covid-19 epidemic had complicated developments, the Ministry of Defense directed the establishment of the Infectious Field Hospital No. 2 – Military Medical Hospital 103/Military Medical Academy in China.

Through treatment, the majority of patients improved, symptoms decreased, clinical manifestations were closely monitored by doctors and nurses. For patients with more severe symptoms, the unit promptly moved to the treatment area for severe patients at Bac Giang Provincial General Hospital. The first 4 patients were discharged.
