The above request was made by the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister on May 23, during a visit and inspection of the Investment Project to build the second facility of Viet Duc Hospital and the second facility of Bach Mai Hospital in Ha Nam province.
After inspecting 2 projects, working with the leaders of the Ministry of Health, Ha Nam Province and the leaders, representatives of ministries, central branches, Standing Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh requested: "Two projects to happen slowly like this are at fault to the people. We must be determined to overcome with limited shortcomings to continue investing in these two important hospital projects. In accordance with the direction of the Politburo, of the General Secretary ".
This leaves 7 more months for the parties involved to complete and put the project into operation.
These two projects have been at fault for a long time. Construction started at the end of 2014, expected to be completed in 2017, but has been abandoned until now. So much money has been eroded over the years, and the waste cannot be fully calculated. The waste is first of all money and assets, but larger is the opportunity to take care of people's health and treat their illnesses.
It is a fault for the people for being late too many times, and it is a fault for the Prime Minister for not implementing the instructions properly.
At the regular Government press conference in October 2024 held on the afternoon of November 9, Head of the Government Office Tran Van Son said that the Prime Minister has requested that in the next 6 months, the Ministry of Health must complete the second facility of these two hospitals and put them into use with great determination.
If implemented according to the Prime Minister's request, facility 2 of Bach Mai and Viet Duc Hospitals will be operational in May 2025.
Will the relevant parties properly implement the request of Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh by the end of this year?
Please note, at the above working session, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh said decisively, those who violate must be strictly handled according to the provisions of the law, but the works and projects are not at fault, not at fault. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to invest, implement to put into use and exploitation.
People are waiting for two things, one is to handle individuals and groups with violations, the other is the second facility of the two Hospitals Bach Mai and Viet Duc to be completed by the end of this year.
Hopefully, the people will not be disappointed.
