On December 01, 2020, the Ministry of Health of Vietnam issued the Decision No. 4999/QĐ-BYT promulgating criteria for clinics safe from Covid-19 and epidemics of acute respiratory infections.

These criteria are promulgated in order to:

- Provide the tools for assessment of each clinic’s capacity for prevention and control of COVID-19 and epidemics of acute respiratory infections and make such assessments.

- Identify issues of priority to ensure the safety of clinic operations and protect patients and healthcare workers from infection.

- Protect patients, patients’ families and healthcare workers from community transmission of COVID-19 and acute respiratory infections and cross infection in clinics.

- Ensure continuous provision of medical examination services during and after receipt of suspected cases of acute respiratory infections or confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Each clinic shall consider and compare the criteria’s content with its current situation and make self-assessments on a monthly basis. If there is risk of community infection or after the clinic has taken steps to improve its safety, it shall make a reassessment.

View more details at the Decision No. 4999/QĐ-BYT of the Ministry of Health of Vietnam, effective from December 01, 2020.
