Provincial leaders, including Nguyen Huu Que, representatives from the Department of Health, local agencies, medical units, and partner organizations attended the ceremony.
Phase 2 will add a nine-story technical building on the hospital’s existing campus, expanding usable space by more than 20,000 square meters and increasing total capacity to 519 beds. The project, with an investment of VND 300 billion (approx. USD 12.2 million), is scheduled for construction between February 2026 and October 2027.
Once completed, the facility will house specialized technical zones, intensive care units, intervention areas, and synchronized auxiliary spaces designed to support advanced medical equipment and specialized procedures.
Hospital board chairwoman Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Thao said the expansion responds to rising demand for inpatient and specialized treatment in Gia Lai and surrounding provinces. She emphasized the project as a strategic step that will elevate professional standards, management capabilities, and the hospital’s role in the regional healthcare network.
The new center is also expected to bolster training, scientific research, and technology transfer, supporting the development of high-quality medical personnel for the Central Highlands.
Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman Que commended the hospital’s progress over nearly 15 years, noting its contribution to public health and its emergence as a key medical institution in the province.
He described Phase 2 as evidence of strong cooperation between local authorities and healthcare institutions in implementing national public-health policies.
He urged relevant departments and partners to work closely to ensure the project stays on schedule.
