According to the inspection conclusion, during the project implementation, the People's Committee of Can Tho City, the Department of Health, the consortium of contractors and consulting units still had shortcomings and violations, leading to the project being behind schedule, posing a potential risk of wasting loans and local budgets - about 300 billion VND of the implementation value...
Currently, the Can Tho Oncology Hospital project is abandoned, overgrown with grass and trees, and construction materials are piled up.
Construction started in 2017, and stopped in 2022. The unfinished items are degraded, if construction is not continued soon, the project will be a scrap storage area.
Even starting construction right away, it would take a significant investment to upgrade the degraded things.
During the inspection of the Can Tho Oncology Hospital project last October, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested that the project must continue and be completed in 2026.
But up to now, this project has not been restarted, while the completion time is only 13 months.
The Prime Minister is impatient, not only because of material waste, but more importantly, cancer patients are waiting to have modern, quality treatment facilities. The existing Oncology Hospital is overloaded, lacking radiotherapy machines, lacking facilities, and outdated.
Cancer patients in Can Tho and neighboring localities are looking forward to the largest and most modern cancer hospital in the Mekong Delta coming into operation for better treatment, but they have waited too long, from hope to disappointment.
The Inspectorate recommended reviewing the leaders of the People's Committee of Can Tho City regarding the violations and shortcomings pointed out in the inspection conclusion.
The point is to do it, but what people are interested in is when the project will be rebuilt. Not only restarting, but must reach the finish line according to the direction of the Prime Minister.
The project is delayed, delayed, and capital is increased due to the weak management and operation capacity of the leaders of the health sector and local government leaders.
The Can Tho Oncology Hospital project is abandoned, like a "match" in the eyes of the people.
If not restarted, the construction items will deteriorate, a prime land area will be abandoned, and the "bottleneck" will be even more difficult to repair. If it can be treated, it will also cost more effort and money.
And if the "umeral block" of the hospital is not resolved, the malignant tumor on the body of a cancer patient will "accurate" more because there is no opportunity for effective treatment.
