In the first phase, doctors specializing in obstetrics, surgery, internal medicine, and pediatrics will rotate to work at the center to build capacity for obstetrics, trauma, internal medicine, and pediatric emergency care in order to meet the common medical needs of the island's residents and visitors.
The second phase involves developing a project with strategic policies for health care services on the island and building a general hospital with the support of major hospitals in the city.
The department will soon organize a trip to Con Dao Island with leading experts to assess the situation and develop a suitable, feasible, and sustainable implementation plan.
