Major General Tran Quoc Viet, Director of Military Hospital 175, said the 1,000-bed general hospital project started in 2016 with a total investment of VND2,500 billion, including 1 basement and 9 floors.

The hospital has the capacity to examine 5,000-6,000 people/day, treat 1,800-2,000 inpatients/day, and receive and provide emergency care for up to 300 cases/day. The building is modernly designed with 47 examination rooms, functional rooms, and 18 modern operating rooms, contributing to reducing the burden on the city's healthcare system and surrounding areas.

The building’s underground parking lot covers an area of ​​8,400 square meters, with a capacity of nearly 1,000 motorbikes and 600 cars. In emergency situations, this area can be quickly converted into a field hospital, mobile emergency room or quarantine area, ready to respond to natural disasters and catastrophes.

Speaking at the ceremony, Senior Lieutenant General Vu Hai San, Deputy Minister of National Defense, emphasized that Military Hospital 175 has gone through 50 years of construction, development and growth.

The hospital's staff, employees and soldiers always promote the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers, solidarity, creativity, overcoming difficulties, excellently completing the task of taking care of the health of officers, soldiers and people and participating in emergency rescue of soldiers and civilians at sea and on islands.

The Deputy Minister requested the hospital to continue improving its professional quality, build a high-quality human resource team, and strive to become one of the six hospitals invested in and developed at international standards.
