Through a field survey at Hai Phong Lung Hospital, Kien An Hospital and listening to reports from the health and finance sectors, Comrade Bui Duc Quang, Vice Chairman of the City People's Council, acknowledged the efforts of hospitals, medical facilities, and the health sector to overcome difficulties and shortages in facilities and equipment, and to continuously improve the capacity to examine, treat, and care for people's health in the city as well as neighboring areas.

In the period of 2021 - 2025, the demand for investment in developing the health sector is very large, but public investment sources can only meet a small part. The implementation capacity to ensure project progress, disbursement rate, and capital absorption are generally limited, entangled, and spread out, not yet focused and key to promoting industry development.
