On January 21, according to Lao Dong, at the Lao Cai Provincial General Hospital construction investment project phase 2, after 4 years of construction, the project items have been completed.
Including a 5-storey block and a 9-storey block, a technical block, inpatient treatment and newly built blocks, automatic fire fighting system and many other items are almost completed.
At the construction site, many rollers, excavators and workers are working on the hospital's front yard. Others are also working on the sub-projects and interior of the building.
Traveling 60 km from Bac Ha district to the province to take care of a relative in hospital, Ms. Thao Thi Trang (residing in Bac Ha town) said that investing and expanding a large-scale upper-level hospital is very necessary. People will find it more convenient and secure when coming for medical examination.
"Lao Cai Provincial General Hospital is the last line of the province to be upgraded and expanded. The province's attention will help ensure the medical examination and treatment needs of people in the highlands, especially ethnic minorities, do not have to travel far when local facilities have met their needs. Otherwise, if there is nothing, no one will want to go to the hospital" - Ms. Trang shared.
Through research, the Lao Cai Provincial General Hospital Phase 2 project was started in December 2021 and will be implemented within 4 years. The initial total investment was 250 billion VND, but after 2 adjustments, it was increased to 380 billion VND.

The project is expected to be inaugurated before February 27, to celebrate the Party Congresses at all levels of Lao Cai province and the 70th anniversary of Vietnamese Doctors' Day (February 27, 1955 - February 27, 2025).
