On the afternoon of May 24, many staff, patients, and patients' relatives expressed their anger when a concrete barrier was placed in front of the road leading to TTH Quang Binh General Hospital (Dong Hoi City), hindering the access to patient care and, most of all, affecting the lives of patients who needed to be admitted or transferred to another hospital.
Concrete barriers placed at the entrance to TTH Quang Binh General Hospital
At the scene, a concrete barrier was placed across the road leading to the hospital, leaving only a small path for motorbikes to pass. When it was time to get off work, hospital staff had to take a taxi to go home.
"With this fence blocking the way, what should we do when a patient needs to be hospitalized or transferred to a higher level?", an officer working at Quang Binh General Hospital was upset.
The sign is attached to the front of the barrier.
The barrier was placed around 5 p.m. the same day. In front of the fence, there was also a sign that said "Construction is under way. No entry without permission. Please use another route."
According to the investigation, the unit that issued the directive to set up the barrier was the Dong Hoi City Environmental and Climate Change Project Management Board. Thanh Nien reporters contacted Mr. Le Thanh Tinh, Director of the Dong Hoi City Environmental and Climate Change Project Management Board, and Mr. Tinh confirmed the incident.
"I directed the blockade. Firstly, it is a construction site of an unfinished construction package, so it is necessary to blockade to ensure construction safety. Secondly, there are some difficulties in the work of restoring the original state of the road with TTH General Hospital," said Mr. Tinh.
A man drove his wife to give birth but couldn't drive straight into the hospital because of the barrier, so he had to go around on the sidewalk.
According to Mr. Tinh, when constructing the package with his unit as the investor, the Management Board worked with the investor of Phu Hai Riverside urban area to borrow the Dien Bien Phu street section intersecting with National Highway 1 for construction. The investor of Phu Hai Riverside urban area was forced to commit to restore the original condition of the road after the construction was completed, and both sides later made commitments to each other.
"After we had been constructing for a short time, TTH General Hospital also started construction. After that, the hospital worked with us to negotiate, asking to use this road and committed to later returning the road to its original state to the investor of Phu Hai Riverside urban area. This has a clear document," Mr. Tinh continued.
The fence only leaves a small path for motorbikes to pass through.
Then, after the project of the Dong Hoi City Environment and Climate Change Project Management Board was basically completed, the project of TTH General Hospital was completed and put into operation, the investor of Phu Hai Riverside urban area requested to return the road soon to continue paving the road. Initially, the two sides agreed to base the payment rate on the volume of materials and supplies according to the design documents, but then TTH General Hospital did not return it because the hospital they were constructing was a priority project of the Quang Binh Provincial People's Committee.

Meanwhile, Ms. Le Thi Thanh Huyen, Deputy Director of TTH Quang Binh General Hospital, said that tomorrow, May 25, she will have a working session with the Dong Hoi City Environmental and Climate Change Project Management Board to resolve the issue.
"I contacted the management board to ask, but they said they were blocking it for construction because this road section was under construction and had not been handed over. I took over the management of the hospital after the construction was completed, so I don't know the details yet. I am discussing with the hospital construction project management board to get the information, then there will be a meeting with the Dong Hoi City Environment and Climate Change Project Management Board," said Ms. Huyen.
Previously, Thanh Nien reported that the road connecting Nhat Le 2 Bridge to the National Highway 1 bypass through Dong Hoi City (Quang Binh) with an investment of 165 billion VND has been basically completed but cannot be used, no one uses it for a strange reason. Specifically, the road connecting to the Dong Hoi City bypass cannot be implemented because the investor of the bypass (invested in the form of BOT), Truong Thinh Group Joint Stock Company, has not approved the connection.
The road connecting Nhat Le 2 bridge to the National Highway 1 bypass through Dong Hoi city (Quang Binh) is abandoned because the BOT investor does not allow connection to the bypass.
