The plan was drafted based on the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic situation remains complicated in the capital city, with 60-80 confirmed cases per day, and that 80 percent of all confirmed cases have displayed mild symptoms.

In the first stage, the city will prepare 2,000 hospital beds to treat COVID-19 patients with medium, severe and critical symptoms in a scenario of 10,000 cases.

The number of hospital beds will then be increased to 4,000 and 8,000 for the scenarios of 20,000 and 40,000 infection cases, respectively, according to the plan.

At present, six-teen hospitals in the city have been designated for COVID-19 treatment, namely: Hanoi Oncology Hospital, Dong Anh General Hospital, Hoe Nhai General Hospital, Hanoi Hospital of Traditional Medical, Ha Dong Hospital of Traditional Medical, Hanoi Rehabilitation Hospital, Vietnam-Cuba Friendship hospital, Hanoi Lung Hospital, Thuong Tin district General Hospital, Phuc Tho district General Hospital, Thanh Tri district General Hospital, Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Gia Lam district General Hospital, Bac Thang Long Hospital, and Hanoi Heart Hospital.  

A 500-bed field hospital is under construction in Yen So Ward, Hoang Mai District, expected to come into operation in mid-August.

The field hospital will serve as a national COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU) which will provide treatment for the sickest patients.
