Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung joined with hospital officials, community leaders and donors on December 6 to break ground on what will be a new 1000-bed VND4.5 trillion (US$214.2 million) Nhi Dong 1 Pediatric Hospital in the Binh Chanh district of HCM City.

The 93,000 sq. m. facility is slated to open in 2016 and boasts it will have the most modernized medical instruments and equipment of any hospital in the region.

Speaking at the ceremony, PM Dung says it is a project of high importance, which will provide treatment for 60% of child patients from more than 20 southern provinces and cities.

He has urged investors, consultants and contractors to implement the project timely on schedule and ensure workplace safety.

The new hospital is the fifth of its kinds in the city following a decision of the PM aiming to improve healthcare services for local people and ease the workload for the two existing Nhi Dong 1 and Nhi Dong 2 Hospitals and other central hospitals in the city.
