HCMC’s Health Department on Saturday sent an urgent dispatch to all hospitals and health facilities, requesting them to strictly follow pandemic preventive measures while ensuring medical examination and treatment for patients.
Emergency hotline should be always available around the clock for direction, coordination, and aid and rescue provision in emergency cases.
