240 billion VND hospital built 8 years ago still not put into operation

That is the incident that happened at the Specialized Psychiatric Hospital in Binh Duong ward, Ho Chi Minh City (Phu Chanh ward, Tan Uyen city, former Binh Duong province).

Suspecting that on March 21, this facility was abandoned. Inside the hospital, trees grew lushly. Two large buildings of the hospital were locked, lying silently. Many equipment inside the hospital was left for a long time, covered in dust.

Because it has been built for about 8 years but has not been put into use, this facility is seriously degraded. Moss walls are growing mottled, and fire protection equipment is also gradually deteriorating. Unused air conditioning systems have also deteriorated...

The deserted, desolate scene of the newly built hospital facility worth hundreds of billions of VND makes people feel sorry.

According to the reporter's investigation, the hospital was built with a scale of 300 beds with an investment capital of about 240 billion VND. This facility was built by the old Binh Duong Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board in the period 2014-2018. Then handed over to the Department of Health and Binh Duong Provincial General Hospital for operation. The handover process took a long time and could not be implemented for many reasons.

By the end of 2020, relevant parties continued to discuss repair plans to put them into use. However, until July 2025, when Binh Duong merged into Ho Chi Minh City, the handover and organization of putting this hospital into operation could not be implemented. This facility has continued to be abandoned since then until now. At times, there were no guards, and people's livestock and poultry were grazed inside.
