The largest hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, located in Binh Duong, will become a key facility in the southeastern region's healthcare cluster.

Following the merger, Binh Duong General Hospital is the largest hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, covering an area of ​​16 hectares and with a capacity of 1,500 beds. The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has requested the Binh Duong Investment and Construction Project Management Board to expedite the project and bring Binh Duong General Hospital into operation in 2026.

The People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has just announced its conclusions on the current state of infrastructure, planning, development orientation of the health sector, and investment projects in the city. Accordingly, the city will accelerate the progress of key projects, complete the health network after the merger, improve the quality of medical examination and treatment, and train high-quality medical personnel. Binh Duong General Hospital will be one of these projects.

Binh Duong General Hospital Project, located in Chanh Hiep Ward, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Dinh Hoa Ward, Thu Dau Mot City), has a scale of 19 floors. Construction started in 2014, after many capital adjustments, the total investment capital has now reached 2,300 billion VND.

After the merger, Binh Duong General Hospital is the largest hospital in Ho Chi Minh City with an area of ​​16 hectares and a scale of 1,500 beds, breaking the record of the City Children's Hospital (more than 10 hectares, 1,000 beds).

However, after more than 10 years, many of the equipment are still in the original packaging at the 1,500-bed general hospital. The project continues to be "delayed" and cannot be put into operation, affecting the medical examination and treatment of the people.

In many areas of the project, the facilities are severely dilapidated due to prolonged periods of disuse and lack of maintenance.

After the merger, the Ho Chi Minh City health system expanded its management scope to include Binh Duong and Ba Ria-Vung Tau provinces (old). Binh Duong General Hospital was taken over by the City health sector.
