The investment policy for this hospital project was approved by the People's Council of Quang Ninh province in Resolution No. 180/NQ-HDND, dated December 8, 2023.
Accordingly, a modern hospital with about 1,000 beds, with a total investment of no more than VND 4,185 billion, will be built on the land (about 33 hectares) of Nam Cau Trang Coal Selection Plant of Hon Gai Coal Selection Company, located in Ha Tu and Hong Ha wards, Ha Long City.
This is a "golden" land because it is located right next to the coastal road connecting Ha Long City with Cam Pha City.
Implementation period: 2024 - 2028.
According to the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province, the investment preparation procedures of the project to date are in terms of implementation procedures, in accordance with planning layers, and comply with legal regulations on public investment and construction.
Currently, the Quang Ninh Province Civil and Industrial Construction Investment Project Management Board is completing the project approval dossier. To date, the project has not been approved. The investor has implemented 7 investment preparation packages with a total signed economic contract value of VND9.436 billion and has paid the contractors VND3 billion.
However, up to now, the entire area of the Coal industry managed within the project boundary has not been able to implement site clearance, because the compensation and support plan for assets of Hon Gai Coal Selection Company has not been agreed upon, so the owner has not dismantled, moved machinery, factories... to hand over the site to Ha Long City.
In Document No. 841/VP.UBND dated February 13, 2025, Quang Ninh Provincial People's Committee asked the Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industry Group (TKV) to identify legal expenses made, approved and as a basis for the provincial People's Committee to pay only. However, up to now, the coal units have not implemented the above contents and the Ha Long City People's Committee has not determined the time for the unit's unit to hand over the site to the investor to complete the site clearance.
Difficulties and inadequacies in handling assets of the Coal industry have not yet had specific solutions. Therefore, the time to complete the investment in the construction of technical infrastructure in the Hospital Area of Facility 2 has not been determined, leading to the Provincial General Hospital project - Facility 2 not being able to be implemented on schedule.
Meanwhile, some construction items of Quang Ninh General Hospital in Bach Dang Ward, Ha Long City, built in 2002, have now been degraded and damaged.
The hospital is also always in a state of serious overload, with an actual number of 1,320 beds, far exceeding the standard scale (673 beds)...
This affects the effectiveness of professional activities and health care for patients, requiring timely investment in renovating the Provincial General Hospital (currently) to ensure the quality of medical services.
In addition, adjacent to the campus of Quang Ninh General Hospital, there are a number of medical land, including: old CDC Center, currently managed by the Department of Health and Ha Long Medical Center; Area managed by the Provincial Cadre Health Protection Board (about 7,052 m2); Testing Center, old HIV consultation center (about 3,050m2). In addition, there are a number of households living in the area, with complex terrain, difficult travel and potential risks of environmental pollution.
According to the review and report of departments, branches and the People's Committee of Ha Long City, regarding the planning, the area of the 4 existing units is medical land, which is eligible to build a hospital according to the approved planning.
According to the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province, the current plan to renovate and upgrade the facilities of Quang Ninh General Hospital in conjunction with the arrangement, handling of assets, and effective use of existing land funds is appropriate.
To carry out work to ensure consistency according to the Law on Public Investment, it is necessary to consider stopping the investment policy of the Provincial General Hospital - Facility 2 construction investment project.
For the above reasons, the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province proposed that the People's Council of Quang Ninh province issue a Resolution to stop the investment policy of the Quang Ninh Provincial General Hospital project - Facility 2.
In the next step, based on the direction of the Provincial People's Council, the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province will assign relevant units to study and propose an investment project to renovate, upgrade and expand the Provincial General Hospital (current), ensuring regulations, promptly meeting the urgent needs of medical examination, treatment and health care for the people.
