HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Three regional general hospitals being built at the entrances to Ho Chi Minh City will open to patients this year, according to the municipal Department of Health.

Being built at a cost of more than 5.6 trillion VND (221.9 million USD) by the city, they are meant to improve healthcare services in outlying districts and reduce overloading at major city public hospitals.

A hospital each in Thu Duc and Hoc Mon districts will be inaugurated in April on the occasion of the 50th National Reunification Day (April 30).

The 1,000-bed Thu Duc Regional General Hospital in the northeastern gateway costing 1.91 trillion VND (75.7 million USD) will serve people in the area and in neighbouring provinces such as Binh Duong and Dong Nai.

The 700-bed Hoc Mon Regional General Hospital in the northwest gateway will cost 1.89 trillion VND (74.9 million USD). It will have several departments that will be moved from the old Hoc Mon Regional General Hospital.

Located not far away will be the Cu Chi Regional General Hospital to be inaugurated in September to mark the 80th National Day (September 2).

The 1,000-bed hospital will cost more than 1.85 trillion VND (73.3 million USD).

For buying medical equipment for the three new hospitals, the city will allocate a total of 4.3 trillion VND (170.6 million USD).

Nguyen Hoai Nam, deputy director of the department, said the hospitals would help improve the quality of treatment for people in the city and southern provinces and reduce overloading at major public hospitals./.
