Dao Xuan Co, Director of Bach Mai Hospital, reported that as of October 24th, over 800 doctors and nurses have been recruited. However, new hires will be placed at the main facility for further training. More than 600 staff members from the main facility have volunteered to work at the second facility in Ninh Binh. “We guarantee that the quality of the second facility will match that of the main one,” Co affirmed, urging Ninh Binh Province to expedite the completion of staff dormitories.
A representative from Viet Duc Hospital stated that they have implemented training, recruitment, and rotation plans for high-quality staff from the main facility to ensure readiness when the second facility becomes operational.
The Ninh Binh Provincial People’s Committee has instructed contractors to work day and night to expedite completion, reducing the timeline by one-third, with the aim of inaugurating the 600-unit social housing complex soon.
Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan emphasized the significant workload involved in transitioning from construction completion to hospital operation. She praised the contractors’ efforts and assured that the Ministry would instruct the project management board to promptly settle payments. Both hospitals need to develop specific operational plans for their second facilities, clearly outlining priorities.
