New Hospital to be built in Long Thanh District

 

​Patients come to examine and receive medicine at the current Long Thanh Regional General Hospital.

The Long Thanh District People's Committee proposes the Provincial People's Committee (PPC) and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DoNRE) to consider and agree on the policy of stopping auction for land in Long An commune to have land fund to build new Long Thanh General Hospital; Proposes the Deparment of Health (DoH) to agree with the DoNRE to report to the PPC for approval the policy of allocating land fund under DoH demand; At the same time, it made a proposal to propose investment policy in hospital construction in the period 2021-2025.

Long Thanh district leaders said that Long Thanh is a locality with many national projects, especially the ongoing Long Thanh International Airport project, which is expected to attract a lot of workers to live and work. Therefore, the medical examination and treatment demand will increase. Meanwhile, the existing Long Thanh Regional General Hospital has been operating for 35 years, with 500 beds, performing medical examination and treatment for people in Long Thanh and Nhon Trach districts, workers in Industrial zones and a number of neighboring localities have been heavily deteriorated. It is forecasted that the population of Long Thanh and Nhon Trach districts will increase sharply in the next 10 years. Therefore, the expansion and new construction of Long Thanh Regional General Hospital with the scale of 1,000 hospital beds to meet the health care needs in the future is necessary.
