Da Nang approves $26.6mn expansion of Son Tra medical center

The second phase of the project will include new construction and upgrades at the facility in An Hai Ward, with total funding drawn from the municipal budget, according to a statement issued on Saturday.

The expansion will extend the site southward toward Vu Van Dung Street, nearly doubling its area to about 20,859 square meters, with more than VND112 billion ($4.25 million) allocated for land clearance and resettlement.

Plans include building a nine-story multifunctional block with one basement and 160 beds, a three-story infectious disease unit, and supporting facilities, along with upgrades to existing buildings housing 180 beds and traditional medicine and rehabilitation services.

Construction is scheduled for 2026-29, with the city's civil and industrial construction project management board appointed as the investor.

The first phase of the center, completed in 2023 at a cost of more than VND241 billion ($9.15 million), is currently in operation.
