Oncology Hospital to Get Advanced Medical Facility

The Hanoi People's Committee has approved a plan to build a high-quality medical facility at the Oncology Hospital to meet the increasing demand for health check-ups and treatment. The building will be located in the campus of the Ha Noi-based hospital. As per the plan, the construction will begin next year and the building will be fully ready by 2020. The construction and the purchase of medical equipment will be completed by the end of next year, so that the hospital can make the building operational in early 2017. The project has a total investment capital of VND145.5 billion ($6.5 million), of which about VND130 billion ($5.8 million) will be a bank loan and the rest will come from the hospital's funds. The check-up and treatment rates will be decided as per the regulations of the ministries of finance and health. The Oncology Hospital is one of the busiest central hospitals that has 300 beds, and provides treatment to thousands of patients annually. (Vietnam News Nov 19)
