Therefore, through the review process, the Ministry of Health proposed to the Government on the basis of the problems to have specific mechanisms and policies to resolve the difficulties and problems. Only by applying those mechanisms and policies can the difficulties and problems be resolved and the project can continue to be implemented.

According to Deputy Minister Le Duc Luan, the Ministry of Health is coordinating with other ministries and branches to complete the content related to the Government's Resolution to handle this issue. After resolving these difficulties and problems, the construction progress of the projects will be accelerated.

In addition to the construction progress reaching nearly 100%, regarding medical equipment, according to Mr. Luan, "medical equipment projects that have been approved since 2014-2015, we will review to compare the implementation practices and organize the procurement of medical equipment, each project is nearly 1,000 billion VND. The goal is that if the difficulties and obstacles are accepted by the competent authorities, we will complete the construction in 2025".

Regarding the second facility of these two hospitals, in November 2024, the Prime Minister requested that within 6 months, the Ministry of Health must complete and hand over, and put the second facility of the two hospitals into operation.
