Previously, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed Official Dispatch No. 112/CD-TTg requesting ministries, branches and localities to focus on resolving backlog projects, stop construction, urgently deploy, complete and put into use to prevent waste and loss.
The telegram clearly stated that there are still many works and projects that have not been promptly resolved by authorities, sectors, agencies and units, causing backlogs and prolonged construction halts.
Typical examples include the Can Tho City Oncology Hospital project, the second facility project of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital, the flood prevention project in Ho Chi Minh City, the Vicem Operations and Transaction Center... causing waste of resources and public outrage.
The Prime Minister requested ministers and heads of state to seriously and effectively implement General Secretary To Lam's direction on combating waste.
