VN is a poor country; a lot of what VN gets as vaccines is free or sponsored<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
VN is communist and sovereign: only Vietnam laws and decrees apply<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
VN has its own decision criteria unknown to foreigners (and sometimes locals)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
VN ministry of Health, centralizes and manage the supplies of vaccines<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
VN is short of vaccines what they buy or receive is what you get<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Campaigns are decided by the central government<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Some private initiatives (like the French government) may be authorized<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Some business groups or private companies may get authorization under Ministry of Health patronage<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Some campaigns may be reversed or interrupted due to shortage of vaccines<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Some vaccines may change destination as a deadly outkreak shifts the urgency for vaccines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Therefore all campaigns are subject to availability of vaccines. ‘Official’ vaccinations campaigns can be interrupted without notice. Of course, there is no possible guarantee you can choose: Moderna, Pfizer, Covax, Sinopharm, Sinovac, Veracell…<\/p>\n
As we write, it is not excluded that the Vietnamese government extends vaccination centers to private arrangements on the French model or to private hospitals.<\/p>\n The Vietnamese strict confinement strategy and tactics to curb the Covid19 pandemics is due to the very poor and limited number of ICU hospital beds for proper treatment.<\/p>\n Below was the number of beds for Covid patients needing hospitalisation (the number beneath ‘giuong hoi suc’ means ICU-hospital bed Intensive Care Unit). <\/p>\n We found out most foreigners in Vietnam know of the following fundamentalss to understand treatment available to you, when declared Covid19 positive F0:<\/p>\n The Government list of F0-confinement centers are overloaded and now extended<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The newly added F0-buildings for confinement are not treatment center, but meant to separate the F0 from the population and monitor them at best.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The government Covid19 nominated hospitals listed are overloaded, they started adding more in july-2021<\/p>\n<\/li>\n F0-monitoring is no treatment but monitoring so that it ‘passes’ as a fever would do: due to overload of VN facilities, F0 are recommended to stay home and get telemedicine<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A F0-hospitalisation may be required when breathing becomes almost impossible. This authorization to move to a hospital is the HCDC doctors’ decision<\/p>\n<\/li>\n F0-ICU bed is overloaded, as we write the government tries to extend capacity. They may allow any hopsital wit capacity and doctors able to handle Covid patients to accept patients.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n More on the latest additions of Covid authorized hospitals https:\/\/tuoitre.vn\/4-benh-vien-tu-nhan-se-tiep-nhan-va-dieu-tri-benh-nhan-covid-19-20210727080739955.htm<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Private hospitals can not treat for free <\/a>as per government ‘strong preference’ therefore not listed as Covid19 treatment center…. under negotiation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Once you are tested Covid positive, you will be confined in isolation centers for self healing with medical supervision physically or tele-medicine.<\/p>\n Your first line family, friends, colleagues in contact in the past 15 days become F1 to be confined at home. Since the Covid delta ‘super contagious’, the 4th wave started early may-2021, the 2 types of authorized facilities became overloaded with thousands of daily new cases. To government #1 nominated hospitals and #2 confinement centers, due to full capacity, the HCDC declared eligible 3 additional ‘confinement places’: <\/p>\n You can follow the CDC instructions for Covid sick F0<\/a> <\/p>\n You may need to find telemedicine if you can not find any HCDC medical doctor or nurse for F0-monitoring.<\/p>\n When monitoring fails, usually around 5-to-10 days after the first symptoms is when you really need treatment and get F0-hospitalization. You can not feed or drink, get dehydrated. You can not breath, every movement is tiring as your body lacks oxygen. <\/p>\n At his critical point, wherever you are:<\/p>\n As of 15-aug-2021, there are talks about allowing any medical facility to provide ‘treatment outside of hospitals<\/a>‘ as defined by CDC whereby you need Intra-Veinus perfusion, medicines and rest for your body to continue fighting the virus.<\/p>\n At this stage, you need to find a Covid hospital listed by HCDC with ECMO or ICU-bed perhaps by mid-aug extended list to be announced…<\/p>\n Unfortunately Vietnam hospitals are short of Covid ECMO-bed to help you breath and ICU-beds to keep you alive.<\/p>\n Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)<\/a> is a method of providing heart and lung support to patients, usually following a heart attack, when the heart is no longer capable of pumping blood around the body sufficiently.<\/p>\n The government is trying hard to extend, but resources medical, equipment and financing are insufficient.<\/p>\n You will need connections and cash to get access to Authorized Covid hospitals ICU <\/a>Intensive Care Units beds.<\/p>\n![\"Made](\"https:\/\/www.riskinasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Vietnam-nanocovax-300x169.jpg\")
