In 2024, despite facing many challenges in terms of human resources, finance, delays in bidding for drugs and medical supplies, as well as increasing demands from the people, the hospital still achieved many outstanding achievements thanks to the strong direction of the Party Committee, Board of Directors and the continuous efforts of all cadres, civil servants and employees.
Dr. Nguyen Duy Tan (Director of An Giang Central General Hospital) said: “As one of the leading units in the province in terms of the number of technical services applied in medical examination and treatment of all specialties, the successful treatment of difficult cases always has a high rate. In recent years, the hospital has continuously made many breakthroughs in the fields of high-tech, specialized treatment, such as: Endoscopic surgery, internal medicine treatment in emergency, cardiology, interventional cardiology...
