Corridors at the existing Ho Chi Minh City Hospital for Traumatology and Orthopedics are often overcrowded due to the high number of patients. The municipal administration said the primary goal is to establish Vietnam’s first dedicated Trauma Hospital equipped with modern infrastructure and advanced medical technology. The facility would serve residents of Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces while significantly reducing pressure on overcrowded inner-city hospitals. Narrow walkways at the current Ho Chi Minh City Hospital for Traumatology and Orthopedics force people to stand aside whenever patient beds are moved through. Under the proposed timeline, construction of the Trauma Hospital would take place between 2026 and 2030.
