Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Kim Tien has hailed the opening of the Da Nang Cancer Hospital as offering thousands of poor cancer patients the opportunity for monitoring and treatment.
Speaking at the hospital’s inauguration in Danang city’s Lien Chieu district, on January 19, Minister Tien explained it will also help alleviate patient overload.
Covering 15ha and encompassing 500 beds and 27 faculties and departments, the hospital is equipped with advanced medical technology. It houses a building with 150 rooms and 200 apartments reserved for staff, doctors, and experts. It also includes a kitchen capable of providing poor patients free of charge with complimentary soup.
The funding for the hospital’s VND1,300 billion construction bill was sourced from the government (VND220 billion) as well as both international and domestic organisations.
The hospital has already welcomed hundreds of patients from Quang Nam, Thanh Hoa, and Gia Lai provinces during the first four days of its operation.
