Strategic steps for people's health

In the Northern region, the two projects of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, Facility 2 in Ninh Binh, which are about to come into operation, are expected to create a chain of medical linkages in the Northern region. With a favorable location, these facilities will help Ninh Binh people and neighboring areas access high-quality medical services right in the locality, reduce travel costs and reduce the burden on central hospitals.

According to Ms. Pham Thi Phuong Hanh, Director of the Ninh Binh Provincial Department of Health, after the merger of administrative boundaries, the province's population has increased, and the demand for high-quality health care is increasingly high.

In the coming time, when the two major hospital facilities operate stably, along with policies on public housing, insurance and synchronous infrastructure, Ninh Binh will become an attractive destination for investors in the health sector. The presence of central hospitals in the area also helps increase human resource training, transfer techniques, share advanced management models and promote the socialization of healthcare.
