By 2030, where will some hematology-blood transfusion centers and transplant centers be established?
On February 27, 2024, the Prime Minister of Vietnam issued Decision 201/QD-TTg 2024 approving the health facility network planning from 2021 to 2030, with a vision to 2050 with the following contents:
Plan for development of the health facility network
1. Allocation of the health facility network by 2030
...
Upgrade several provincial specialized hospitals into hospitals undertaking regional functions in oncology, cardiology, obstetrics/obstetrics - pediatrics, geriatrics, rehabilitation, traditional medicine, and infectious diseases to provide specialized technical services and establish some hematology - blood transfusion centers and transplant centers in some localities. For regions without specialized hospitals or facing difficulty in establishing specialized hospitals, priority should be given to the development of specialized centers in provincial general hospitals.
The spatial allocation orientation of provincial specialized hospitals undertaking regional functions is as follows:
+ Oncology specialty: Phu Tho, Hanoi, Nghe An, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho;
+ Cardiology specialty: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho;
+ Obstetrics/Obstetrics - Paediatrics specialty: Phu Tho, Hanoi, Hai Phong, Nghe An, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho;
+ Gerontology specialty: Can Tho;
+ Rehabilitation specialty: Ho Chi Minh City;
+ Traditional medicine specialty: Ho Chi Minh City, Nghe An;
+ Infectious disease - tropical specialty: Khanh Hoa, Ho Chi Minh City;
+ Blood centers: Hanoi, Thua Thien Hue, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho;
+ National Coordination Center for Human Organ Transplantation: Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City.
Thus, provincial specialized hospitals will undertake regional functions in oncology, cardiology, obstetrics/obstetrics - pediatrics, geriatrics, rehabilitation, traditional medicine, and infectious diseases to provide specialized technical services and establish some hematology - blood transfusion centers and transplant centers in some localities.
