metres, has a total investment of nearly 200 billion VND sourced from
the state budget (30 percent) and various loans. It will include
pediatric, obstetric, aesthetic and surgical departments.
Once
completed in 2012, the hospital will meet the province’s demand for
high-tech medical check-ups and treatments for both domestic and
international patients.
