Enhancing Central Vietnam’s Medical Capacity Through International Cooperation Project
New Building, utilizing preferential funding from the Republic of Italy, officially commences operations at a key Medical-Pharmaceutical training institution.
On December 10, a medical training institution in the Central region officially inaugurated a building constructed with a preferential loan from the Government of the Republic of Italy, complemented by domestic counterpart funds. The completion of this facility signifies the cooperative relationship in developing the medical field and health human resource training between Vietnam and Italy.
The ceremony was attended by the Italian Ambassador to Vietnam, H.E. Marco Della Seta, the Director of the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation in Hanoi, Ms. Margherita Lulli, along with representatives from central agencies, local leaders, and scientists and professors from the University of Sassari, Italy.
The seven-story building, with a total floor area of 11,618m² on a 1,882m² site, is a key component intended to enhance the institution’s capacity for teaching, research, and healthcare provision. This facility is specifically focused on serving the specialties of pediatrics, obstetrics, and high-tech medical fields.
The total investment for the project is 171.9 billion VND, which includes 5.6 million EUR from the Italian Government’s preferential loan. Beyond the physical structure, the project also allocated over 1.11 million EUR for modern medical equipment and support for training staff, PhD students, and Master’s students at the University of Sassari.
The utilization of this facility contributes to expanding high-quality healthcare capacity, simultaneously realizing the institution’s development objective of adopting a national-level School-Hospital model, aspiring to meet international standards.
