Authorities in Hanoi Sunday held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the
completion of the first phase of the third center of Hospital K, the largest
cancer treatment facility in the north, aiming to reduce a severe overload at
the hospital.
A total of 300 beds will be put
into service in Thanh Tri district’s Tan Trieu commune in the first phase,
which cost about VND440 billion (US$21.1). Meanwhile, the second phase is
slated for completion in 2013.
A 1000-bed facility will be
available for cancer treatment once the two-phase project is finished.
The project, costing VND1.4
trillion ($67.2 million), was announced in 2002 and began in 2007.
Besides the newly-established
facility in Tan Trieu, Hospital K has two other centers in Hanoi, with a capacity
of 810 beds, on Quan Su Street and in Tam Hiep Commune in Thanh Tri District.
At the ceremony Prime Minister
Nguyen Tan Dung said that the government will manage to allocate enough funding
to help speed up the facility’s second phase for completion by 2013 as planned.
The prime minister also asked the
Ministry of Health to develop networks of public ontological hospitals in two
cities under the central government - Da Nang and Can Tho.
The patient overload in
centrally-run hospitals has become more severe in the last couple of years, a
report said.
Public hospitals were reportedly
operating at an average capacity of 116 per cent in 2009, 120 per cent in 2010
and 118 per cent last year, according to statistics released by the Ministry of
Health.
Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Kim
Tien told a NA session earlier this year that reducing the overload at
centrally-run hospitals was one of the ministry's key tasks until 2015.
