Park, was inaugurated in Ho Chi Minh City on January 5.
After three years of construction, the hospital was put into use on September 24, 2013, offering 320 beds and a contingent of over 600 doctors.
Sprawling over 2.5 hectares, it has been funded by the Hoa Lam – Shangri La Medical Company, a joint venture between Vietnam’s Hoa Lam firm and Singapore’s Shangri-La Healthcare Investment Company. The hospital is being run by Singapore’s Parkway Health Group.
