The 500-bed hospital will be built by Hungary’s MAGYAR and VMD, Vietnam’s Bach Dang Construction Corporation, Consultant and Inspection Joint Stock Company of Construction Technology and Equipment (CONINCO) and Japan’s AZUSA.

It will cost a total of nearly VND1.8 trillion (US$79.2 million), including nearly EUR57 million of official development assistance provided by Hungary’s government.

The hospital aims to provide services for locals and the Mekong Delta region.

Construction will start in late September.
