Mr Jean-Marcel Guillon said the Board of Directors of the FV Hospital are considering to develop the about 10,000m² FV Hospital Da Nang project worth an estimated 5 million US$.

The guest said he would like the city authorities to facilitate the FV Hospital to conduct the research into the development of the large-scale project in an effective manner.

In reply, Vice Chairman Minh remarked that, next year’s top priority will be given to appealing for even more domestic and foreign investment into the city’s all aspects.

In particular, over recent years, special heed has been paid to developing medical infrastructure facilities, and human resources with high qualifications.  The deployment of the FV Hospital Da Nang project, correspondingly, totally matches with the city’s development strategies.

The city leader asked the municipal Investment Support and Promotion Board and other relevant local agencies to assist the FV Hospital to seek a suitable site for the new hospital, and implement other related tasks. 

The project’s construction plans will be submitted to the municipal government for official approval.

The FV Hospital was founded by Dr Jean-Marcel Guillon in 2003 with a group of French doctors who shared the vision of bringing world-class healthcare service into Viet Nam. 

Located in Ho Chi Minh City’s District No 7, the FV has evolved into a full-service, one stop provider of high quality care for local citizens and those from neigbouring localities.

As the first Joint Commission International JCI -accredited hospital in Southern Viet Nam, the FV Hospital is known for its international standard of care, commitment to clinical quality and patient centric service.

With over 950 service staff members in total, including 130 Vietnamese and foreign doctors, FV now has  more than 30 medical specialties at its 220-bed hub hospital.  It also operates an outpatient clinic at the heart of District 1, Ho Chi Minh City’s traditional business hub.  In addition to catering for the local Vietnamese population, FV also receives patients from Viet Nam’s neighbouring countries of Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.
