On the evening of July 7, at a press conference on the results of the police work in the first 6 months of the year of the Ministry of Public Security, Lieutenant Colonel Vu Thanh Tung - Deputy Director of the Police Department for Investigation of Economic Crimes, Corruption, and Smuggling (C03 of the Ministry of Public Security) - said that all 5 people were investigated to investigate the crime of violating regulations on management and use of state assets causing loss and waste.
The five defendants are Dao Xuan Sinh , director of SHT Consulting, Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company; Tran Van Sinh, head of the technical and costing department, the Ministry of Health's key medical project management board; Nguyen Chien Thang , former director of the Ministry of Health's key medical project management board, and two former deputies, Nguyen Huu Tuan and Nguyen Kim Trung .
According to Lieutenant Colonel Tung, C03 initially determined that the defendants' actions caused a loss of 80 billion VND and a waste of 770 billion VND. C03 is expanding the investigation to thoroughly recover assets for the state.
The second facility project of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital was approved by the Ministry of Health in 2014 with a total investment of nearly 10,000 billion VND, of which the state budget capital is 9,000 billion VND, the scale of each project is 1,000 hospital beds.
On December 13, 2014, the Ministry of Health held a groundbreaking ceremony for the second facility of Viet Duc Friendship Hospital and Bach Mai Hospital in Ha Nam (now Ninh Binh province). The first phase is expected to be inaugurated in December 2016 and completed in December 2017.
In October 2018, the Ministry of Health held an inauguration ceremony for the examination department of the Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital, Facility 2 project. However, Viet Duc Hospital, Facility 2, has never organized medical examination and treatment. In March 2020, Bach Mai Hospital closed the examination department at Facility 2.

On April 1, 2025, the Government Inspectorate announced the conclusion of the inspection of the investment project to build new facilities 2 of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital.
The inspection results show that the violations in the implementation of the two projects of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital, Branch 2, were systematic. The amount of damage and waste in these two projects amounted to more than 1,200 billion VND.
The Government Inspectorate also pointed out the causes of violations related to the two projects, clearly stating the responsibilities of the leaders of the Ministry of Health in each period.
specifically, Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Tien, Minister of Health from 2011 to 2019, was the person who directly signed decisions related to both projects in 2013 to 2017.
The waste of facilities 2 of Bach Mai and Viet Duc Hospitals is not only a loss of budget and finance but also a waste of people's health.
Projects that should have allowed people to benefit from medical treatment at "international standard" medical facilities have been abandoned and wasted for a long time.
In early April 2025, the Ministry of Public Security informed that Department C03 was coordinated with the Government Inspectorate to receive documents and assign tasks to resolve according to regulations related to the project of the second facility of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital.
