Municipal People's Committee Chairman Huynh Duc Tho said the MoU, which was signed in the Czech Republic last week, aimed to build a high-tech hospital.

Chairman Tho said the city would offer the best conditions for the Czech partner if an investor is found.

Mr Petr Mach, Vice Chairman of the Future Investment Company, said the firm would transfer technology to the city as well as equipment, facilities and human resources training.

According to the city’s Investment and Planning Department, the city is looking for around US$300 million to build the medical centre.

The new centre aims to ease overcrowding at the city’s Paediatrics and Obstetrics Hospital.

The Czech Future Investments specialises in securing funding for medical centres. This would be the first project between Da Nang and Eastern Europe.
