According to the
Ministry of Health, 56 percent of hospitals in Vietnam do not have wastewater
treatment systems while 70 percent of their current facilities do not even meet
with national quality standards.
At present, Vietnam has 13,500 hospitals and health
clinics that collectively discharge about 350 tons of solid waste and more
than 150,000 cubic meters of wastewater
a day.
Only 50 percent of the hospitals in Vietnam actually
collect and recycle solid waste, while 73 percent of district and provincial
hospitals do not even have the basic facilities to burn toxic waste.
As a result, the Ministry of Health has planned to
implement a nationwide project for waste treatment in hospitals at a total
investment of US$155 million.
The project is expected to complete by 2017, under which
it will build solid waste and
wastewater treatment systems in at least 150 central and local hospitals.
Training of human resources to operate these waste treatment facilities will
also be provided as part of the project.
