This information was confirmed today (January 27th) by Mr. Huynh Tan Tuan, Principal of Quang Nam Medical College.
According to Mr. Tuan, this amount of 4.6 billion VND, along with the advance payment, is sufficient for the school to pay six months' worth of salaries and social insurance contributions for its staff and lecturers.

"On January 26th, the school paid two months' worth of salaries and social insurance contributions to its staff and lecturers. The remaining four months will be disbursed in the next few days. Currently, there is still a shortfall of over 1.4 billion VND in allowances for 10 months," Mr. Tuan said.
Meanwhile, regarding the remaining funding shortfall compared to the school's needs (over 1.4 billion VND), the Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee has directed the school to work with its staff and employees to agree on debt restructuring and find a solution in the future, preventing any complaints or lawsuits from arising.
Regarding student recruitment, in 2024, Quang Nam province allocated 220 enrollment quotas to Quang Nam Medical College for both college-level and vocational training programs. The total number of students trained at the college is approximately 500.
The province is expected to allocate approximately 10.8 billion VND to the school. The school's funding needs are nearly 16 billion VND, and the remaining deficit will be covered by the school's own revenue to ensure regular expenses are met.
Previously, on December 14, 2023, 17 staff and lecturers working at the Nursing Department and the Primary Healthcare Department of Quang Nam Medical College announced they would cease work starting December 18, 2023.
The reason for the collective work stoppage is that the school has failed to pay their salaries and allowances for six months (from July 2023 to the present). The Nursing Department and the Primary Healthcare Department have met and agreed to stop working until the school resolves the issue of salaries and allowances.
After receiving their salaries, the school's staff and faculty decided to return to work.
Not only the faculty and lecturers of the Nursing and Primary Healthcare departments, but Quang Nam Medical College currently owes six months' salary to 114 employees, totaling over 5.7 billion VND. In addition to salary arrears, the college has also been late in paying social insurance contributions for several months.
By December 18, 2023, two lecturers from the Department of Primary Healthcare had stopped teaching, causing 30 students to be suspended from their studies.
Recently, Quang Nam Medical College spent 1.2 billion VND to pay one month's salary and three months' social insurance for its staff and lecturers. Currently, the staff and lecturers of this college have returned to work.
