BẮC GIANG — An international eye hospital was put into operation in northern Bắc Giang Province on Thursday.

The DND hospital covers an area of some 10,000sq.m in Dĩnh Kế Ward, Bắc Giang City.

Combining the high-end resort model with hospital, DND is the first international standard hospital in the province. Along with its high-tech equipment and qualified staff, DND provides a variety of choices for high-quality medical service to the locals.

The elements of a resort would also be included such as biological gardens, lakes, and a Japanese style architecture, ready to serve thousands of patients every year.

Lương Ngọc Khuê, head of the ministry’s Medical Examination and Treatment Department, said the hospital with its equipment and staff was expected to satisfy the increasing demand of the people for health examination and treatment.

Raising the quality of medical services is also the goal of the ministry to better serve patients, according to Khuê.

On the occasion of the opening ceremony, the hospital plans to provide free cataract surgeries for 150 poor and disadvantaged patients from Bắc Giang, Bắc Ninh and Lạng Sơn provinces. — VNS
