The move was followed by the HCM City People’s Committee’s call of local health facilities to join Covid-19 treatment activities.
Hoan My Thu Duc International General Hospital under Hoan My Medical Corporation submitted the proposal to establish a Covid-19 treatment centre to municipal authorities on July 24.

On July 26, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam had a meeting with the hospital leaders to discuss the establishment of the centre.
Hoan My Thu Duc International General Hospital’s Covid-19 treatment centre is scheduled to become operational next week. Situated around 10 kilometres from Covid-19 Intensive Care Hospital, it is quite convenient to transport patients among two facilities.
Hoan My Thu Duc International General Hospital has been in use since late 2020.
Hoan My Medical Corporation has planned to raise the Covid-19 treatment sick-bed number to 200 in the coming time.
The corporation has called on the voluntary participation of more than 3,000 medical staff from its 15 hospitals and six clinics in the Covid-19 treatment at the centre.
The health sector will also support the treatment of patients in critical conditions through consultations.
