Responding to reporters' questions, Deputy Minister of Health Le Duc Luan said that the Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital 2 project has been under construction since 2015. During the project implementation, construction, and contract implementation, there were many related problems.

In the past time, the Working Group of the Government and the Ministry of Health has repeatedly reviewed the project documents and comprehensively assessed the legal issues and violations involved; studied and identified the basic difficulties and problems that need to be resolved. On that basis, proposed solutions for handling and resolving. The Ministry of Health and the Working Group have submitted many reports to the Government and directly reported at meetings.

Implementing the direction of the Government, the Government Standing Committee and the Ministry of Health are coordinating with ministries and branches to have feasible plans and soon submit them to competent authorities for permission to have a mechanism to resolve these difficulties and problems. On that basis, these hospitals will continue to be built and put into operation.

"Regarding Bach Mai Hospital, the completed volume is over 90%, Viet Duc Hospital is about 60%. Today, Viet Duc Hospital's contractor is restarting and continuing the project construction" - Deputy Minister of Health Le Duc Luan said.
