The Thu Duc Regional General Hospital serves as a multifunctional institution, with five distinct functional domains. The clinical area prioritizes patient care, while the outpatient section facilitates consultations. In-patient wings provide accommodation for patients, and diagnostic services are available within the technical and professional subclinical zone. Administrative management and general services oversee hospital-wide operations.

This hospital plays a crucial role in alleviating overcrowding issues in the city’s healthcare facilities. Its mission is to offer Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) residents specialized and top-tier healthcare services. Significantly, it is part of a broader initiative approved by the prime minister to establish HCMC as a prominent healthcare center in Southeast Asia by 2025. Anticipated for completion in 2023, the hospital’s significance in advancing healthcare in HCMC is undeniable.

Facing challenges like limited green space and potential pollution from nearby industrial areas, the Thu Duc project site demands a climate-sensitive design due to southern winds and proximity to residential zones. Environmental precautions are vital due to the adjacency of a sludge processing area. The presence of high-rise apartments presents design opportunities, while the incorporation of surrounding gardens ensures seamless integration, catering to community needs while minimizing environmental impact within the urban context.
