What are the specialized medical complexes expected to be established in Bac Ninh and Long An provinces?

The medical complex is viewed by many experts as a model that can help push for innovation and high-tech development activities of the whole health sector, in line to create a modern health system, advanced as well as the belief that health is a service sector capable of directly contributing to economic growth, according to the deputy director of the Ministry of Health's Finance and Planning Department.

- Medical complexes are best suited for:

+ Health facilities with large and complex laboratory systems (such as important facilities of preventive medicine systems, public health testing, verification, blood banks, stem cell banks...);

+ High-tech biomedical research and development centers;

+ Large medical human resource training institutions;

+ High-tech health facilities (hospitals and clinics);

+ Research facilities producing pharmaceuticals, biological products and high-tech medical equipment...

- The advantages of this model include:

+ Create space for cooperation and sharing of shared medical technical infrastructure among health facilities, especially between labo systems;

+ Create a link space between research, development, human resource training and design and production of high-tech medical products.

- At the same time, this model is favorable for:

+ Invest and operate several general technical infrastructure items for facilities in the complex (water supply and drainage system, medical waste treatment system, electrical system, fire protection system, security system, internal traffic system...);

+ Design key investment schemes (requiring concentrated investment capital on a large scale);

+ Partly be favorable for investment preparation, because it is only necessary to ensure the premises once at one location, instead of solving the ground assurance work many times at many different locations.
