Gia An 115 Hospital is the second facility in the International Hi-tech Healthcare Park of Hoa Lam Shangri-La, a healthcare complex founded in 2008 with more than 1,700 inpatient beds. The complex is expected to host six general and specialized hospitals, as well as auxiliary facilities.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tan Binh, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health said that the policy of developing PPP health care has been implemented by the city for years, but the scale of past projects remains small.

This is the first time a PPP hospital has been built in the city, marking a fruitful cooperation between a public hospital and a private business, he noted.

Along with helping ease overload in central-level hospitals in the city, the hospital will provide quality health care services at reasonable cost to local patients, he stated.

The official affirmed that in the future, the city’s health sector will continue implementing more similar project to better meet the medical demand of locals.
