The capital city needs at least 4,200 more beds to guarantee healthcare for the population, said a city official.
The new hospitals would improve the capital city's healthcare in line with international standards so that they will no longer have to travel abroad for treatment, Hanoi People's Committee Vice Chairman Le Hong Son said at a recent working session with the municipal Department of Health.
Under Resolution 37 dated December 10, 2022 of the Hanoi People's Council, ten hospital projects are pending approval by municipal authorities, including the Hanoi Nephrology Hospital, the upgrading of the Hanoi Traditional Medicine Hospital, the Hanoi Disease Control Center and Dong Da General Hospital, and the new campus of the Hanoi Tropical Disease Hospital, The Hanoi Times reported.
The city also hopes to kick-start soon seven hospital projects, which the authorities have already approved. These projects include renovating the Hanoi Psychiatric Hospital and the Hanoi Oncology Hospital, constructing the Hanoi Heart Hospital, and improving the medical ventilation and sewage treatment systems for all Hanoi-based hospitals.
In addition, five hospital projects whose implementation has not been completed in 2016-2020 will continue in the next period. These projects include upgrading and expanding four general hospitals in Thuong Tin, Ha Dong and Ba Vi districts, Son Tay city, and building Phase 1 of Hanoi Children's Hospital.
Director of the Hanoi Department of Health Tran Thi Nhi Ha said the municipal government commits to ensuring 30-35 hospital beds for every 10,000 people by 2025. Read More…
