Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Duong Anh Duc noted that Nguyen Trai Hospital with 130 years of history has highly skilled medical professionals. However, the infrastructure and facilities of the hospital have been degrading for many years, leading to difficulties in offering medical care services to people in the city.
Hence, the municipal authorities asked functional departments and units to carry out a construction project of the high-tech diagnostic and treatment center to provide better healthcare service to residents and ease patient overload in hospitals.
