Reporting to the Prime Minister, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee (PPC) Vo Van Minh said that the hospital project has a scale of 1,500 beds with an investment of nearly 2,300 billion VND from the local budget. The project started in 2014 but has not been completed so far, the construction time has been 1.5 times longer than expected. The main reason is that the project is divided into several bidding packages, lack of general contractor, poor investment preparation, so many problems arise when implementing, etc. In addition, the recruitment and attraction of medical staff and doctors working at public health facilities faced difficulties, leading to insufficient recruitment of medical staff and doctors for the Hospital.

The survey is aimed at grasping practical difficulties in order to promote the project's early completion and learn lessons for other projects across the country, the Prime Minister said.
