Ho Chi Minh City will build the second Oncology Hospital in District 9, at a total cost of nearly 5.9 trillion VND (274 million USD) which is sourced from the State budget and other legal capital resources.
The 1,000 patient-bed hospital will be specialised in high quality tumour treatment, applying state-of-the-art medical technology. The 10-storey construction includes an outpatient clinic, a sub-clinical and diagnostic area, and an administrative area.
