On the afternoon of January 8, at the regular press conference of the Government, reporters asked the leaders of the Ministry of Health about the progress of the two projects of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital, Facility 2, as planned? When is it expected that these two projects will be put into use?

Answering the above question, Mr. Do Xuan Tuyen, Deputy Minister of Health, said that the above two hospitals were deployed since 2014. When the Prime Minister decided to invest in these two hospitals, it was very consistent with the policy of taking care of people's health, contributing to the fastest access to high-quality medical services, while reducing the burden on central hospitals.

However, according to Mr. Tuyen, these two hospitals were implemented using a new method, so during the implementation process, there were some difficulties and problems, and since 2021, the contractor has temporarily stopped construction of the project.

Faced with the above issue, the Government, the Ministry of Health and relevant units have actively researched solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles for the two projects. Specifically, from 2023 to present, the Government and the Ministry of Health have organized more than 20 meetings and established working groups to find solutions to resolve difficulties and obstacles for the two hospitals.

According to Mr. Tuyen, with the strong direction of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, the contractors have resumed construction at these two hospitals since the beginning of November 2024. The working group has also completed a plan to resolve difficulties and problems and submitted it to the Government on January 6.

“With such spirit, the Ministry of Health actively directs contractors to ensure the two projects are put into operation in 2025,” Mr. Tuyen affirmed.
