Scheduled for completion by 2029, the project has a total investment of 48 million USD from the state budget. Its centerpiece is a multi-storey examination and treatment complex covering more than 60,000 square meters, with 680 hospital beds and a system of specialized departments.

The project also includes upgrades to technical infrastructure such as auxiliary facilities, medical waste and medical gas treatment systems, information technology, and advanced medical equipment, moving toward a smart, safe, and environmentally friendly hospital model.

Once completed, the upgraded hospital is expected to significantly enhance Quang Ninh’s healthcare capacity, ease pressure on central-level hospitals, and allow residents of the province and neighboring localities to access high-tech medical services closer to home.
