In early March 2025, at the construction project of the Bac Ha district general hospital located in Bac Ha town, according to the reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper, after 3 years of construction, the project has completed many items and is in the process of accelerating construction.
At the time of recording, some items such as the 6-storey apartment building were in the process of completing the rough construction, the 3-storey administrative building and pharmacy warehouse were basically completed.
In addition, a series of other auxiliary items, traffic roads, internal roads, and electricity and water systems are being actively implemented by units to complete the progress on time.
Ms. Thao Thi Din (Bac Ha town) said that this hospital had to stop construction for a while due to cracked walls, but has now resumed construction since the beginning of 2025.
"The state's attention to investing in a new modern hospital in the district has made everyone excited. Hopefully, after the construction is completed, our people will be examined and treated right in the white plateau without having to go far as before," Ms. Din shared.
Through research, the project is invested by the People's Committee of Bac Ha district, approved with the goal of building a new hospital with a scale of 250 beds, on a total area of 50,755m2.
The total investment is 200 billion VND, with investment capital from the central budget for the period 2021 - 2025.
The Bac Ha District General Hospital project has been under construction since 2022, expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
The representatives of the construction contractor are the Joint Venture of Truong Son One Member Co., Ltd. - Duc Tuan Construction Investment Co., Ltd. - Lao Cai Construction Co., Ltd. - Sang Son Co., Ltd. - 19-8 Construction Co., Ltd. and Dements - Dists.
However, in the mid- to late 2023 period, during the construction process, on the main house area (in the case of a 6-storey block), there was a phenomenon of subsidence and many cracks appeared on the wall surfaces of the project.
According to the report of the People's Committee of Bac Ha district, during the construction of items under the District General Hospital Project, there was prolonged heavy rain in the area. By the end of August 2023, there was a phenomenon of subsidence of the floor of the main house area (6-storey apartment building).
After the discovery, the District People's Committee requested the construction unit to dig additional drainage ditches to prevent water from flowing into the subsided ground. At the same time, the design consultant unit is required to conduct a geophysical survey of the construction area of the project's main house.
It is known that up to now, after finding the cause and having a solution, the project has resumed construction.
On March 3, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Ha Duc Thanh - Director of the Bac Ha District Construction Investment Project Management Board - said: "The Bac Ha District General Hospital construction project had to stop construction for about a year due to subsidence. Therefore, the unit has requested an extension of the completion time. Currently, the contractor is speeding up construction again and is expected to hand over the hospital by October".
