Dr. Ho Hai Truong Giang, Director of An Binh Hospital, said that despite being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, Nguyen Hoang Company strived to overcome all difficulties and promptly put the project into use on schedule in May 2021. The hospital was then converted into a 700-bed Covid-19 treatment hospital by the city. After excellently completing the task of treating Covid-19 patients, the hospital has returned to normal medical examination and treatment functions for about 2,000 patients per day.

Dr. Ho Hai Truong Giang affirmed that with nine functional rooms, 21 clinical departments, four subclinical departments, and five modern operating rooms, including one hybrid operating room used for organ transplanting, orthopedic, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal, the hospital would realize its goal of becoming a green, high-tech hospital to provide high-quality health care services in the upcoming time. After more than 100 years of use, the facilities were seriously degraded, so the hospital was invested in renovating and building new in two phases. Currently, construction phase 2 of the hospital has been started with a total investment of nearly VND600 billion from the State budget to replace some seriously degraded areas.
