This is part of a resolution adopted by the tenth municipal People’s Council at its tenth meeting, held on September 19.

Under the plan, over VND1.49 trillion ($62 million) will be invested in purchasing medical equipment for the Hoc Mon Regional General Hospital, more than VND1.36 trillion ($56.6 million) for the Cu Chi Regional General Hospital, and VND1.45 trillion ($60 million) for the Thu Duc Regional General Hospital.

The People’s Council also gave the green light to projects building new infrastructure and purchasing medical equipment for 17 medical facilities.
