Orthopedic hospitals are about to be relieved of their workload.

Ho Chi Minh City Orthopedic Trauma Hospital will take over the old land of the Hematology and Blood Transfusion Hospital to renovate and build a second facility, relieving the current overload situation.

Mr. Nguyen Tran Phu, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Finance, said the above at a regular press conference on the afternoon of September 21, adding that this month the procedures for transferring and handing over assets will be completed.

The land on Pham Viet Chanh Street, Nguyen Cu Trinh Ward, District 1, was formerly the medical facility of the Ho Chi Minh City Blood Transfusion and Hematology Hospital. This hospital has now been rebuilt in Binh Chanh District and moved here, leaving the current site vacant.

"The city leaders decided to hand over this land to the Orthopedic Trauma Hospital to ensure development because the current facility is overloaded," said Mr. Phu.

In August, the Department of Health requested the Department of Finance to report to the City People's Committee for permission to transfer this land to the Orthopedic Trauma Hospital to receive as a medical examination and treatment facility.

Currently, the Department of Finance has completed the appraisal, agreed with the proposal of the Department of Health and is drafting a document to submit to the People's Committee in the direction of approving the transfer of assets (including real estate and assets attached to land). The Orthopedic Trauma Hospital is also conducting a survey and making a plan for renovation and repair.

The Ho Chi Minh City Orthopedic Hospital was built by the Chinese in 1968, with an area of ​​over 5,000 m2, with an initial scale of 100 beds, now it has to be expanded to about 600 inpatient beds, including beds in the hallways of the departments. This is a first-class specialized hospital, the final line for orthopedic trauma in Ho Chi Minh City and the southern provinces.

After more than 50 years, the infrastructure and construction structures have seriously degraded. In 2010, the project to build a new hospital in Binh Chanh district was approved by the Prime Minister to be piloted under the form of a build-transfer contract and an investor was appointed to negotiate the contract (BT). However, to date, the project has not yet completed the investment preparation phase.

Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health Tang Chi Thuong said that he has proposed that the People's Committee stop implementing the project under the BT form, move the new construction project location to another location, with a scale of 500 beds, and capital from the city budget.

While waiting for the project to build a second facility, the hospital proposed that the city allow the construction of a new facility to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment, solve the current overload situation and be worthy of a specialized hospital at the end of the Southern region, while also serving teaching and in-depth research activities.

The Orthopedic Trauma Hospital is one of three dilapidated hospitals that the Department of Health has proposed to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to rebuild. The other two are the Ho Chi Minh City Tropical Diseases Hospital and the Mental Hospital. The Director of the Department of Health believes that the overloaded and degraded condition causes patients to suffer and is not commensurate with the development of a leading specialized hospital.
