The Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Civil and Industrial Works in Ho Chi Minh City has reported on implementation progress, and disbursement plans of new construction projects of the three regional General Hospital in Hoc Mon, Cu Chi and Thu Duc suburban districts.

Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Duong Anh Duc said that protecting and taking care of people's health is extremely important, the city and the Central Government have devoted huge financial resources to the three hospitals in this gateway area which are responsible for taking care not only the health of city residents but also people in other surrounding regions.

What he was most concerned about was that the equipment packages for these three hospitals must be supplied simultaneously to serve patients’ increasing demand. The Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has directed departments and agencies that when the hospital is completed, the equipment must be ready for use, said Vice Chairman Duong Anh Duc.
