Visiting the Can Tho City Oncology Hospital Project (new facility) which has been unfinished for many years, the Prime Minister clearly stated that what the Government Inspectorate has concluded must be handled according to the conclusion; any individual who violates must be handled according to regulations; each level must handle it; but the current status must be limited, the project must be restarted, considered as starting from the beginning; this project must be considered urgent, not to be wasted because the people's need for medical examination and treatment is extremely urgent.
At the same time, strengthen and perfect the Project Management Board. Regarding capital, the Central Government will support to continue investing in completing the hospital; in the immediate future, a decision must be made to end the old ODA agreement to convert hospital investment to public investment; and inventory all assets.
The Prime Minister requested that relevant entities make efforts to complete the project by November 30, 2026, so that the Can Tho City Oncology Hospital can be put into operation by January 1, 2027. The Prime Minister requested that the project implementation process must not be marred by negativity, corruption, or waste.
Can Tho City Oncology Hospital Project (scale of 500 beds) has a total investment of more than 1,727 billion VND (of which the ODA loan from the Hungarian Government is 56,927,480 Euro, equivalent to more than 1,393 billion VND, accounting for 80.66%; the counterpart capital of Can Tho City is 13,646,520 Euro, equivalent to more than 334 billion VND, accounting for 19.34%). The project, invested by Can Tho Department of Health, started construction in 2017 and is expected to be completed in 2022.
However, during the implementation process, due to the impact of the epidemic and some objective reasons, the project did not meet the requirements on the proposed progress. From July 2022 to now, the project has been forced to stop construction because the binding loan agreement effective on January 11, 2019 has expired on July 11, 2022 and the loan agreement has not been extended or signed, leading to insufficient basis to extend the validity of the Commercial Contract (EPC) to continue implementing the project.
Visiting the Can Tho City Oncology Hospital (current facility), in the face of the facility's degradation, overcrowding, and lack of equipment, especially the cobalt radiotherapy machine, the Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Finance to coordinate with Can Tho City and the Hospital to promptly complete procedures to purchase two more radiotherapy machines on an emergency basis. The Central Government will support the City to contribute to meeting the capacity to treat people.
