The total operating costs of hospitals have increased over the years. The state budget has not increased much, however, the revenue from hospital fees and health insurance funds has increased over the years. The amount of money spent on drugs in hospitals has increased in both quantity and proportion compared to the total costs of hospitals over the years. This is a challenge for the pharmaceutical sector when it has to manage a large amount of funds in accordance with regulations and ensure timely treatment.
The current situation of the budget for hospitals is very limited while the funding from health insurance increases according to the contribution level of participants, but it is also very difficult while medical services are constantly developing, the list of drugs is increasingly expanding, and pharmaceutical departments always have to balance between the need for drugs and the financial capacity of the hospital.[18], [19], [20].
The lack of budget for drug purchase directly affects the quantity and quality of drugs. The first factor that determines the choice of drugs when evaluating bids is quality and treatment effectiveness, but the final factor in some cases is price. Therefore, the budget for drug purchase is an issue that needs to be considered, weighed and adjusted.
1.2.2.6. Drug and therapeutics committee
The Ministry of Health issued Circular No. 08/BYT-TT dated July 4, 1997 guiding the organization of functions and tasks of the hospital's Drug and Treatment Council to implement Directive 03/BYT-CT dated February 25, 1997 of the Minister of Health on rectifying the management and use of drugs in hospitals.
Duties of the drug and therapeutics committee [4],[7]

Conduct regular meetings once every one to two months and when necessary, requested by the hospital director and convened by the council chairman. The vice chairman of the council - head of the Pharmacy department prepares the meeting content and sends documents to the council members before the meeting. On that basis, the council will discuss and analyze the proposed opinions. The standing committee members will synthesize and submit to the hospital director for approval and implementation decision. After 3-6-9-12 months, a preliminary and final report will be made.
The activities of the drug and therapeutics council have initially affirmed the role of the hospital pharmacy department in supporting the board of directors in enhancing the safe, rational and effective use of drugs. However, the council has not yet developed regulations to strengthen the close cooperation between pharmacists, doctors and nurses in which pharmacists are consultants, doctors are responsible for prescriptions and nurses are the ones who carry out medical orders. [54], [57], [72].
1.3. MODELS OF SOME MEDICINAL FLOWERS IN THE WORLD
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and some hospitals in developed countries, the Pharmacy department is organized as follows depending on the size of the hospital and the services provided [64], [65]:
Retail packaging of drugs

Inpatient Pharmacy
After-hours pharmacy

Main pharmaceuticals : Purchasing and inventory management by computer.
Main warehouse.
Retail and packaging department.
Combined infusion preparation room.
Inpatient pharmacy : Responsible for dispensing and managing drugs, chemicals, and consumables. The dispensing system includes three forms: ensuring drug supply according to the base. System of requesting drugs for each patient. System of dividing drugs according to dose units.
a. Numerical guarantee system
In departments such as emergency and operating rooms, drugs are often requested immediately after being prescribed. Unless there is a satellite pharmacy, drugs may not be dispensed to each patient but on a per-patient basis. Drugs used in these departments are often expensive and controlling their use is always a difficult task for the pharmacy department.
b. Drug request system for each patient
Similar to outpatient treatment. Each course of treatment is prescribed for each patient. Compared to the block-based drug dispensing model, it is convenient for pharmacists to consider the appropriateness of treatment based on each patient's drug use record kept in the pharmacy department.
The pharmacist's responsibility to the patient in controlling the use is better. This system reduces the number of times the drug is dispensed. For example: Each patient is given medicine for
A 3-day course of treatment, if the 3-day treatment continues, the personal medicine box returns to the pharmacy and is reissued.
c. Drug dispensing system according to unit dose used
This system enables more comprehensive patient care and reduces medication errors. Medications are divided into doses, each individually packaged, and placed in individual compartments for each patient. The cost of shipping medications by dose is higher than bulk packaging, but this can be offset by reducing shortages and making it easier to prevent leaks.
Inpatient pharmacy departments are sometimes divided into satellite pharmacies within the hospital. In large hospitals, satellite pharmacies are useful because they reduce the time it takes to dispense medications to patients, especially in dispensing systems that are responsible for distributing medications to individual patients. Satellite pharmacies also increase the presence of pharmacists in patient care areas, facilitating interactions between pharmacists and medical, nursing and patient staff, and fundamentally improving patient care.
Outpatient pharmacy.
Drug information unit : Ensures provision of drug information to patients and medical staff.
After-hours pharmacy : Although the need for medicine is continuous, some hospitals do not have 24-hour pharmacy service. If medicine is needed after hours, a pharmacist or nurse must be called to provide a replacement. It is necessary to limit the dispensing of medicine not done by a pharmacist and there should be checks to prevent possible errors.
Emergency medicine warehouse : Responsible for dispensing medicines for emergency care outside of working hours.
The Singapore General Hospital (SGH) pharmacy model includes [66]: :
Inpatient pharmacy :
Control and supply of drugs according to medical orders for inpatients
Satellite pharmacies serving inpatient areas
Professional advice for patients on asthma, COPD, cardiovascular disease, organ transplant, anticoagulant treatment.

However, through chart 2.2, it can be seen that BIDV Tien Giang's profit is still increasing continuously, and its operating efficiency is currently leaking. This is a contribution of non-credit services, and this service segment will be increasingly focused on growth by BIDV Tien Giang to ensure the highest profit safety because credit activities have many potential risks. At the same time, focusing on developing non-credit services is consistent with one of the contents of restructuring the financial activities of credit institutions in the project "Restructuring the system of credit institutions in the period 2011-2015" approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 254/QD-TTg dated March 1, 2012 [14]: "Gradually shifting the business model of commercial banks towards reducing dependence on credit activities and increasing income from non-credit services".
2.2. Current status of non-credit service development at BIDV Tien Giang.

Typical services are as follows: Payment services, treasury services, guarantee services, card services, trade finance, other services: Western Union, insurance commissions, consulting services, foreign exchange derivatives trading, e-banking services,...
2.2.1.1. Payment services:
In accordance with the Prime Minister's Project to promote non-cash payments in Vietnam [15], banks in Tien Giang province have continuously developed payment services to reduce customers' cash usage habits through card services and electronic banking services such as: salary payment through accounts, focusing on developing card acceptance points, developing multi-purpose cards, paying social insurance by transfer, paying bills through banks, etc.

Along with the technological development of the entire system, BIDV Tien Giang has a payment system with a fairly stable transaction processing speed, bringing many conveniences to customers. The results of observing chart 2.3 show that the income from payment services that the Branch has achieved has grown over the years but the speed is not high and the products are not outstanding compared to other banks. Domestic payment products such as: Online bill payment, electricity bills, water bills, insurance premiums, cable TV bills, telecommunications fees, airline tickets, etc. bring many conveniences to customers. Regarding international payment, this is an indispensable activity for foreign economic activities, BIDV Tien Giang is providing international payment methods for small enterprises producing agriculture, aquatic food and seafood that have credit relationships with banks in industrial parks in Tien Giang province such as: money transfer, collection, L/C payment.
2.2.1.2. Treasury services:
BIDV Tien Giang always focuses on ensuring treasury safety and currency security, always complies with legal regulations, and minimizes risks in operations such as: counting and collecting money from customers, receiving and delivering internal transactions, collecting from the State Bank (SBV) or other credit institutions, receiving ATM funds, bundling money, etc. BIDV Tien Giang's treasury service management department is always fully equipped with modern machinery and equipment such as: money transport vehicles, fire prevention tools, money counters, money detectors, magnifying glasses, etc. to ensure absolute safety in treasury operations, immediately identifying real and fake money and other risks that may affect people and assets of the bank and customers. In addition, implementing regulation 2480/QC dated October 28, 2008 between the State Bank of Tien Giang province and the Provincial Police on coordination in the fight against counterfeit money, in the 3-year review of implementation, BIDV Tien Giang discovered, seized and submitted to the State Bank of Tien Giang province 475 banknotes of various denominations and was commended by the Provincial Police and the State Bank of Tien Giang province [17].

However, as shown in Figure 2.4, income from treasury operations is not high and fluctuates. Specifically, in the period 2011-2013, net income increased and increased most sharply in 2013, then in the period 2013-2015, there was a downward trend. This fluctuation is due to the fact that fees collected from treasury services are often very low and can even be waived to attract customers to use other services.
2.2.1.3. Guarantee and trade finance services:
BIDV Tien Giang, thanks to the advantages of the province and the favorable location of the Branch, has continuously focused on developing income from guarantee services and trade finance.

The reason is: Among BIDV Tien Giang's corporate customers, the construction industry is the industry with the highest proportion of customers after the trading industry, this is a group of customers with potential to develop guarantee services. The second group of customers is corporate customers in the fields of agricultural production, livestock and seafood processing with high import and export turnover in the area.

Existence and challenges in drug bidding at hospitals[45], [55].
Bidding separately at each medical service facility, not centralized as in some countries, leads to difficulty in control, so the Ministry of Health encourages health departments to bid centrally to gradually move towards national centralized bidding. [50]. That requires a higher standardization of criteria in bidding. Especially when bidding on such a large scale, to control the huge amount of information about drugs and contractors, the Ministry of Health needs to have a software program to help computerize, shorten manual work when bidding as well as help standardize drug selection in bidding to ensure the highest efficiency.
Limitations in the management capacity of staff, legal documents in the work of developing bidding plans, bidding documents, planned prices, as well as organizing bid evaluation are shown through the winning bid results: the winning bid price still fluctuates a lot, the time to complete the bidding work is prolonged, causing drug shortages.
Professional limitations: Bidding activities, standard bidding documents, and drug selection criteria in bidding evaluation still do not have specific guidance documents. The consensus on drug selection is still subjective and sometimes inaccurate.
Technical limitations: All work in bidding activities is still manual, bid evaluation takes a lot of time, human resources make bidding results slow, leading to a lack of medicine to serve the needs of medical examination and treatment. This requires computerization (building supporting software) to avoid shortages in human resources and time.
The list of drugs bid by brand name and the bidding results are subject to many negative impacts of the dominant market.
Sometimes, the price of the same winning drug item varies greatly between hospitals and between regions and areas in the country.[43], [49].
The winning bid price of some drugs is higher than the price of the same type of drug on the market at the same time. The high winning bid price is partly due to reasons such as collusion between contractors that have not been strictly controlled ...
There is no common price level for medicinal materials and vaccines, so it is difficult to manage the bidding prices for these items.[43]
Hospitals tend to choose imported drugs with increasingly high costs even though domestic drugs have been produced with the same active ingredients, good quality, and reasonable prices. Partly because domestic drug manufacturing companies have not paid enough attention and invested properly in marketing activities, building product strategies to enhance the reputation and brand of their drugs, reducing their competitive advantage when participating in bidding.
Evaluation of technical standards is not unified, treatment equivalence is almost not implemented, leading to the need to choose drugs that are already prestigious in the world despite the very high cost [45],[49],[55],[56]; .
1.5. SUMMARY OF RESEARCH TOPICS ON SUPPLY OF HOSPITAL DRUGS AND HOSPITAL PHARMACEUTICAL FLOWERS
In recent years, there have been many research topics on hospital drug supply activities conducted at Hanoi University of Pharmacy at the level of graduation thesis, master's thesis... The topics have focused on four contents of the drug supply cycle such as Friendship Hospital, Bach Mai Hospital, E Hospital.
[48], 108 Central Military Hospital, Central Hematology and Blood Transfusion Hospital, the topics have preliminarily shown that in recent years, the field of hospital drug supply has been getting better and better. Some topics have researched and partially intervened in the hospital's drug supply activities such as Do Bich Ha: Analysis and evaluation of bidding activities through surveying the bidding process and results at some hospitals in the period 2005-2007 [45]; Duong Thuy Mai's thesis initially applied information technology to support drug bidding activities at hospitals [49]... However, there are still many shortcomings that need to be improved and perfected by authorities and hospitals, and pharmaceutical departments in the following years.
Friendship Hospital is a grade 1 general hospital at the central level. In recent years, there have been a number of research topics on the hospital's drug supply activities. However, these topics have only studied some individual activities of the drug supply cycle and have not comprehensively studied the drug supply activities, found out the main shortcomings to propose solutions to improve the effectiveness of drug supply activities. Drug supply activities at Friendship Hospital are affected by many factors: human resources, facilities, operating models, disease models, etc. Drug supply bidding activities have many shortcomings that cause delays in treatment services. The topic focuses on describing the overall situation of drug supply activities at Friendship Hospital in recent years, and at the same time, implementing a number of intervention solutions in the management of toxic, addictive, psychotropic drugs and drug bidding management, thereby proposing a model of pharmacy activities and a number of solutions to improve the efficiency of drug supply activities, contributing to serving the health care for patients at Friendship Hospital.

Specifically, in the period 2011-2013, net income increased and increased most sharply in 2013, then in the period 2013-2015, there was a downward trend. This fluctuation is due to the fact that fees collected from treasury services are often very low and can even be waived to attract customers to use other services.

BIDV Tien Giang, thanks to the advantages of the province and the favorable location of the Branch, has continuously focused on developing income from guarantee services and trade finance.
