Saigon New Hospital project told to raise green coverage

HCMC – HCMC government has told relevant agencies and Binh Minh Import-Export and Trading Production Company (Bitexco) to reduce the construction density so as to increase greenery space for Saigon New Hospital project. According to a statement issued by the People’s Committee Office late last month, the city government approved the construction of Saigon New Hospital as an emergency and general hospital with 300 beds. The 12-storey hospital will cover 10,000 square meters in Nguyen Cu Trinh Ward in District 1. The city has also urged the investor to consider building a separate hospital waste facility and not locating the funeral parlor inside the hospital so that the hospital will become a green place with a modern architectural design.
