Contrasting scenes at Can Tho Oncology Hospital

Phong Linh - Mỹ Ly |

Can Tho - The existing hospital is struggling with overload and deterioration, in contrast to the new promising but unfinished hospital project.

f
This is a familiar image, taking place for many years at the Examination Department, Can Tho City Oncology Hospital. On average, the Department receives 700 - 800 patients from neighboring provinces each day. The overload situation makes patients and doctors tired.
f
At many times, this place is just a place for adults to jostle.
f
At the General Surgery Department, the area is about 200m2 but currently has 80 hospital beds. While about 30 doctors and medical staff of the department also only work in a room of about 20 square meters.
f
It is worth mentioning that in the radiotherapy department, the only radiotherapy machine equipped at the hospital has been broken for many days. The machine has been used since 2010, and has now become an outdated "use", no longer used by hospitals in the country and the world.
f
The equipment is lying idle because it cannot be used.
f
In a state of engine failure and not knowing the exact time of repair, the hospital allowed patients to return to the resort. The waiting area has therefore become quiet.
f
We asked medical staff to turn on the room lights to make it easier to observe and work. At that time, the facilities gradually deteriorated. The old, torn pads - the place where patients have been sedated for many years.
f
Surrounded by cracked walls.
f
The path is narrow, the floor tiles are curved, and the ceiling is peeling.
f
Meanwhile, the project to invest in the construction of a new Can Tho City Oncology Hospital (scale of 500 beds) due to problems with ODA capital, expired contracts with contractors, ... has been temporarily suspended since 2022. Seen from above, the building is abandoned, exposed to the sun and rain.
f
Outside, materials are left in chaos, the equipment is rusty.
f
Inside, many materials were covered with tarpaulins and had expired.
f
moss and mold are stuck to the walls.
Mot vai khu vuc bi ngap nuoc.
Some areas were flooded.
V
The milestone of spreading in the hospital space. The floor is peeling, showing clear signs of wear and tear over time.
f
Outside Can Tho City Oncology Hospital (with a scale of 500 beds), weeds grow wildly, are too high for knees, and hide among the equipment.

On 1.4, the leader of Can Tho City People's Committee and departments and branches came to check the investment project to build Can Tho Oncology Hospital (500 beds). The Secretary of Can Tho City Party Committee Do Thanh Binh acknowledged that equipment at the Can Tho Oncology Hospital project after 2 years is outdated, so the investor needs to be calculated to report to the leadership of the City People's Committee and talk to experts for advice. The Department of Health of Can Tho City soon overcome difficulties to restart the project.
