To fulfill the aspirations of the people and fulfill our responsibility to the Party and the State, advising on policy mechanisms for the project to ensure its completion and commissioning is an extremely urgent requirement. It was during these most difficult times that we received decisive and close guidance from the Party, State, and Government leaders, as well as coordination from various ministries and agencies, especially the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, and the Government Office. This support helped the Ministry of Health develop and submit Government Resolution No. 34/NQ-CP dated February 13, 2025. Minister Dao Hong Lan acknowledged that this was the "key" to resolving the seemingly insurmountable difficulties and obstacles of the two projects.
After more than 10 months of resuming construction, with a massive volume of work and many difficulties arising, the two projects have now completed their construction phases ahead of the schedule set out in Resolution 34.
