At the unfinished construction site of the Can Tho City Oncology Hospital Project, the contractor's representative reported the situation and made recommendations to the leaders of Can Tho City. Accordingly, the contractor's representative hoped that the city's leaders would recommend that the central ministries and branches soon find solutions to put the project into operation to reduce difficulties for the contractor. Thereby, helping people in the Western provinces and cities soon enjoy the best, most convenient treatment facilities and the best costs. If the disbursement continues, the contractor commits to completing and handing over the project to the Department of Health within 1-1.5 years to put it into operation as soon as possible.
According to Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee Tran Van Lau, the Can Tho City Oncology Hospital Project is a practical and urgent project to serve the people. The Mekong Delta currently does not have a hospital as large as the Can Tho City Oncology Hospital (500 beds). However, this project has been implemented since 2019 but so far has only completed the rough part and is stuck in procedures. This is a project from ODA loans and the related agreement has expired in 2022. To continue implementing it, it is necessary to ask for the policy of the Government and the National Assembly , especially regarding funding and budget. In the past time, the leaders of the City Party Committee and the People's Committee of Can Tho City have been very concerned and determined to find solutions, but there are still problems with regulations and mechanisms. The People's Committee of Can Tho City has asked for the opinion of the City Party Committee and proposed to the Government to terminate the agreement with Hungary to request capital allocation from the state budget. The budget is quite large, the central government must supplement about 1,300 billion VND, not including the local counterpart budget.
The Chairman of the People's Committee of Can Tho City acknowledged and shared with the people, veteran revolutionary cadres... hoping that this project will soon continue to be implemented to serve the health care of the people. Currently, the People's Committee of Can Tho City has sent a written proposal to the Government and is waiting for the Government's approval. Currently, some facilities and materials are starting to degrade, causing great waste. It is necessary to implement soon to prevent waste of investment resources, and soon put the project into service for the people. Through the inspection, the leaders of Can Tho City have grasped the actual situation, have the basis to continue to propose to the Prime Minister for approval to quickly continue implementing the project. The Chairman of the People's Committee of Can Tho City shared and encouraged the contractor to continue to coordinate so that when the project restarts, it will be completed in the shortest time.
