Báo Đại Đoàn KếtBáo Đại Đoàn Kết05/11/2024

In Quang Nam, there are commune-level health stations built over 30 years ago that have seriously degraded and need to be rebuilt, repaired, and upgraded, including infrastructure and equipment. Therefore, the Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee has approved the Investment Project to build new, upgrade, renovate, and purchase equipment for 76 health stations. However, this project is too sluggish and no one knows when it will be completed.

The above project was approved by the People's Committee of Quang Nam province in Decision No. 601 dated March 27, 2023 with a total investment of VND 196,991 billion, with a scale of building 7 new stations; upgrading, renovating, and expanding 46 stations; investing in medical equipment for 64 stations. The capital source for this project belongs to the Program for economic and social recovery and development after the Covid-19 pandemic approved by the National Assembly since 2022. The project is invested by the Quang Nam Provincial Investment and Construction Project Management Board (Project Management Board). According to the plan, it will be completed and put into use by November 2024. However, despite many urgings from the provincial leaders, the progress is still too slow.

Specifically, according to the latest report of the Quang Nam Provincial Project Management Board, up to now, construction package 15/53 has basically completed 14 stations, and 38 stations started construction in October 2024, expected to be completed in December 2024. Regarding the procurement of medical equipment for a package of about 23.3 billion VND, the Provincial Project Management Board is re-conducting price appraisal procedures and is expected to complete the procurement and installation by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.

For the investment project to build, upgrade and renovate 5 district-level medical centers, with a total investment of 92 billion VND, the project implementation period and investment capital disbursement have been extended until the end of 2024.

“Decree No. 136/2020/ND-CP detailing a number of articles and measures to implement the Law on Fire Prevention and Fighting (PCCC) and the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the PCCC Law, the procedure for giving comments on PCCC by the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police - Rescue and Search and Rescue only applies to a single project. However, the scale of the project investment includes 5 separate District Medical Centers, so the design consultant unit must separate the documents to submit comments for each project, which somewhat affects the overall progress,” the report said.

Talking to reporters of Dai Doan Ket Newspaper, Mr. Huynh Xuan Son - Director of Quang Nam Province Project Management Board said that the current project situation has certain difficulties that need to be shared, such as according to the Provincial Party Committee's policy on the plan to arrange commune-level administrative units in the province in the period of 2023 - 2025, there will be a number of communes affected by specific investment content that must be submitted for approval for adjustment.

In addition, the documents from the survey stage, investment policy establishment, project establishment to the construction drawing design stage were implemented in a short time, so it was difficult to avoid shortcomings. The Quang Nam Provincial Project Management Board has adjusted some contents related to the design, so the implementation time of the package had to be extended.

These are 2 group B projects, deployed in a large area, many works in remote areas, on the other hand, most of the work must be bid online such as: Consulting on feasibility study reports, design consulting to construction packages, so it takes a lot of time. In addition, there are a number of issues related to changes in policies on bidding organization, disbursement, and approval of project adjustments. Including the approval of project adjustments of 10 stations because it is necessary to carry out the general planning procedure, which takes 2 months from February 2, 2024 to April 1, 2024.

In response to the project's delay, Mr. Mai Van Muoi - Director of the Department of Health of Quang Nam province said that many medical stations under construction have been temporarily suspended for many months. Medical examination and treatment activities must be temporarily carried out at the headquarters of agencies and private homes, which do not ensure the necessary conditions for medical examination and treatment.

“We are very worried about the risk of losing capital when the project's end date according to the National Assembly's Resolution is approaching. In the context of local revenue being very difficult, and funding for the health sector from the local budget is limited, this is an extremely valuable source of funding. If the capital is withdrawn, what source of funding will be used to compensate? This puts more pressure on the medical facilities that are benefiting from the project.”

It is thought that, in the face of difficulties leading to the project being behind schedule and at risk of being prolonged, it is not only the responsibility of the Quang Nam Provincial Project Management Board but also the relevant levels and sectors in Quang Nam need to find ways to resolve them in order to soon complete and put into use, ensuring medical examination and treatment facilities for people, especially at the commune level and in remote areas, which may be isolated during the rainy and stormy season.
