The Principal of Vinh University of Medicine and Pharmacy added: The Provincial People's Committee has agreed on the policy of building Vinh University of Medicine and Pharmacy Clinic into a Hospital.

Accordingly, the Hospital is built within the school campus, with a structure suitable for a 200-250 bed hospital, fully arranged with functional areas according to regulations of the Ministry of Health; ensuring sterile conditions, environmental hygiene conditions and implementing specialized techniques according to regulations of law.

The hospital is a self-funded public service unit with independent accounting and self-guaranteeing all regular operating expenses.

"The school hopes that the project to build Vinh University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital will be implemented soon" - Rector of Vinh University of Medicine and Pharmacy Nguyen Canh Phu suggested. "In the long term, the school hopes that the province will have policies and mechanisms for the teaching staff; continue to pay attention to investing in facilities, expanding the campus (soon implementing the second campus of the school), ensuring the criteria of a medical university".

On behalf of the Supervisory Delegation, Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation Nguyen Thanh Hien acknowledged the results Vinh Medical University has achieved in the process of improving training quality. The process of organizing and implementing the project from ODA loan capital was well managed by the unit.

The Deputy Head of the Provincial Delegation of National Assembly Deputies requested the school to continue to complete the remaining contents of the project; learn from experience in organizing activities, and pay attention to archiving and managing records related to the project...

According to the Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, the most important thing is that after the project is completed, the school must develop a management and maintenance mechanism so that the invested equipment can be used effectively.

From there, the projects practically contribute to the roadmap for expanding the scale of training and improving the quality of human resource training for the health sector; upgrading the clinic into a hospital of Vinh University of Medicine and Pharmacy; contributing to solving the problem of overload in hospitals and moving towards implementing the roadmap for autonomy in universities according to the Government's policy.
