The Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang is working to establish a temporary hospital for COVID-19 treatment in its border city of Ha Tien amid complex developments of the coronavirus in neighbouring Cambodia and illegal border crossings.
The northern province of Vinh Phuc has invested 3.32 trillion VND (143.4 million USD) in upgrading local medical infrastructure in the 2016-2020 period.
The private medical sector’s active engagement in health care has helped to raise the number of patient beds per 10,000 residents from 23.56 in 2011 to about 290,000 last year.
The Ministry of Health put much effort into developing medical infrastructure throughout 2015, with a view to easing hospital overload and improving examination and treatment quality.
