Ho Chi Minh City is about to put into operation a joint general hospital in Can Gio.

(Dan Tri) - According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, the joint general hospital model that is about to come into operation in Can Gio is a strategic decision in implementing solutions to enhance people's health care.

On November 1, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health announced that, implementing the "Can Gio Medical Capacity Improvement Project", the second facility of Tu Du Hospital with the model of a joint general hospital will officially come into operation in the above area on November 10.

Accordingly, this is a public general hospital using the existing infrastructure of the Can Gio District Medical Center (old) managed by Tu Du Hospital, closely linked with many leading general and specialized hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City, to serve people in Can Gio and neighboring areas.

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, Can Gio is a coastal area where people still have difficulty accessing high-quality medical services, while the area is in the process of developing marine economy , tourism, and seaports.

The early operation of a high-quality general hospital here is not only a medical investment to ensure social security, but also has the meaning of creating a health care infrastructure to serve socio-economic development, attracting experts and residents.

Previously, in May 2024, the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City issued the Project "Strengthening, enhancing capacity and developing healthcare in Can Gio district to 2030, with a vision to 2045".

According to the Project, a public hospital of the city will be selected as the second facility operating under the model of a general hospital with a scale of about 300 beds, using the existing infrastructure of the Can Gio Regional Medical Center (formerly Can Gio District Hospital).

One year after the Project was approved, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health selected Tu Du Hospital - a group 1 autonomous hospital - to be primarily responsible for developing a plan to implement the model of a joint general hospital.

Specifically, Tu Du Hospital deploys the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, responsible for hospital operations and management. Other specialties will be handled by specialized hospitals, including:

City Children's Hospital and Le Van Thinh Hospital are responsible for Internal and External specialties (including kidney dialysis);

The Ho Chi Minh City Eye Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City Dental Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, Rehabilitation and Occupational Disease Treatment Hospital, and Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital will dispatch specialized staff to take charge of clinical departments at the above facilities.

In addition to its main task of directly examining and treating people, Tu Du Hospital, Branch 2, is also assigned to support remote consultation and consultation with commune health stations; participate in preventive medicine programs, primary health care, and develop the grassroots health network in the area.

"In parallel with serving the people, Tu Du Hospital 2 will meet the health care needs of workers, experts and tourists when the Can Gio International Transit Port Project and the marine eco-tourism urban area are implemented," the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health added.
