Building a mechanism for the field is important in order to serve local demand, he added.
The city will speed up the construction of the Pediatrics Hospital so it can be put into operation three months sooner than expected, he said.
He suggested changing the investor for the building of the Hospital for Traumatology & Orthopaedics if progress is too slow. The health sector also needed to pay more attention to medical workers’ living standards.
Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Kim Tien proposed that local authorities support public investment, including the use of official development assistance (ODA) funds, in healthcare.
