 The newly built facility accommodates between 500 and 700 beds and works as an intensive care unit that provides emergency treatment to COVID-19 patients in severe and critical conditions. |
 The building is one part of the plan devised by the authorities of Hanoi to deal with the increase in daily infection cases. |
 Construction on the hospital is completed in just one month and is ready to receive positive COVID-19 cases. |
 The site is being divided into three areas ahead of its launch, one for administration, another for testing and holding medical equipment, and a final area for COVID-19 patients in critical condition. |
 The hospital also has 69 disinfected bathrooms and many green or safe areas. |
 Patients’ beds are fully equipped with modern facilities. |
 Approximately 1,000 medical workers, including 272 doctors and 680 nurses, are mobilised to the hospital. |
 All rooms are equipped with a camera system in order to monitor the condition of patients. |
 The facility is designed to provide treatment for COVID-19 cases in the capital, along with other northern provinces such as Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, and Lang Son. |
 Work is complete on other areas of the hospital, with the number of beds increasing depending on the real situation. |
 Rooms equipped with high-tech devices are now ready to receive patients who require COVID-19 treatment. |
 Supporting equipment system is complete and ready to be used. |
 A meeting room helps to connect the field hospital to other areas through an online platform. |
 The hospital will also be in charge of providing guidance, along with technical and professional support for the resuscitation of COVID-19 patients in other medical facilities. |
