However, the payment of bonuses according to the Certificate of Merit of the Department of Health in 2024 has not been implemented due to problems with regulations on spending sources (this is an objective factor); the payment of dangerous toxic allowances for some officers, civil servants, and employees at some job positions of the Hospital is not in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the instructions of the Ministry of Health (the appraisal minutes dated September 11, 2023 of the Department of Health, after which the Hospital has overcome); The Hospital has not paid regular support to the Captain and Deputy Captain of the Fire Prevention Team according to regulations.
Regarding the incident of patient T.V.T. (The patient is being treated at the Lung Hospital but was taken to the Provincial General Hospital for emergency treatment and was confirmed to have died outside the hospital): Initial verification shows that the Hospital has not properly implemented regulations on medical records, consultation regimes, patient management and implementation of the procedure for reporting serious medical incidents for patients.

Through inspection, the construction items and equipment have been and are being put into use by the Hospital after handover. For some high-tech items (such as the High Voltage Oxy Center), the Hospital is implementing a roadmap for recruitment, training and receiving technical transfers in parallel with completing the infrastructure.
