According to this Resolution, the Government agrees with the mechanism and solutions of the Ministry of Health in handling difficulties and obstacles in the investment project to build the second facility of Bach Mai Hospital and the investment project to build the second facility of Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, with the goal of proposing practical and feasible solutions based on practice to promptly complete the investment and construction and put into use the second facility of these two hospitals.
After clearly stating the solution, the Government thoroughly grasped the Party's guiding viewpoint, appropriately applied the State's policies and laws, and ensured feasibility in implementation.
Continue to implement the investment according to the total investment approved by the competent authority. In case of necessary additional funding to ensure the completion and synchronous operation of the two projects, the Ministry of Health shall preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies to report to the competent authority for consideration and decision.
The solution to the problem must be objective and honest, based on the current status of legal documents and related documents reported by the investor; the current status of the construction site and the results of inspection, examination and audit by competent authorities.
Regarding the solution, the Government allows the adjustment of the contracts of the XDBM-01, XDBM-02; XDVĐ-01, XDVĐ-02 packages to continue to complete the contracts on the principle: The adjusted contract price is established according to the approved construction drawing design estimate after discounting according to the percentage of savings when bidding for each package.
The price adjustment of contracts shall not exceed the total approved investment of the project; The contract payment value shall be established on the basis of the actual completed volume that has been accepted and the detailed contract unit price shall be adjusted accordingly at the time of payment acceptance.
The value of payment for the contract volume does not exceed the adjusted contract price (excluding contingency). The contingency cost (if any) in the approved construction drawing design estimate is only used to pay for the increased volume (if any) compared to the volume in the approved construction drawing design.
The Government also assigned the responsibility for implementation and organization of implementation to the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of National Defense, etc. In which, the Ministry of Health, according to its functions, tasks, and authority, is responsible for directing the investor to promptly organize the implementation of contract adjustments, organize the implementation of the 2 projects according to the mechanisms and solutions stated in this Resolution, ensuring the completion of construction in 2025; Direct Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Friendship Hospital to ensure human resources and other necessary conditions for effective operation of the 2nd facility immediately after the 2 projects are completed and put into use.

The two projects of Viet Duc Friendship Hospital and Bach Mai Hospital, branch 2 in Ha Nam, started construction in 2014. Bach Mai partially operated branch 2 in 2019 and stopped operations in March 2020. Meanwhile, Viet Duc branch 2 only stopped at the ribbon cutting ceremony and has never received patients. The campus is currently overgrown with weeds, many items are still under construction, and most of them do not have medical equipment.
