Saint Paul Hospital

Saint Paul Hospital

Saint Paul Hospital is a large multi-field medical complex situated in the central part of Hanoi - the capital of Vietnam. The hospital was founded during the French colonial rule in Indochina (19-th - early 20-th centuries). As the root of its name, it is used to be the largest Hôtel-Dieu in the Indochina, administered by the Archdiocese of Hanoi.

The hospital is one of the main medical establishments in Hanoi for serving those, who suffered from traffic and other accidents, and people with external trauma. According to "The Project for Improvement of Capacity in Saint Paul Hospital" within the framework of grass-roots grant assistance of the Government of Japan, in 2007 the facility received 84,954 USD for buying equipment for monitoring (1 piece), ventilator (2 pieces) and electrocardiography (1 piece), which are necessary for first-aid and critical trauma patients [ [http://www.vn.emb-japan.go.jp/html/pr_.html Embassy of Japan in Vietnam] ] .

In 2001, it has been helped by the United States non-governmental organisations of Counterpart International, Project Hope, and World Medical Relief, in medicines and medical equipment worth USD 302,457 for its emergency services [cite web | title = USAID helps Hanoi improve emergency services | work = Vietnam Embassy | date = 2001-11-25| url = http://www.vietnamembassy-usa.org/news/story.php?d=20011125232606 | access date = 2007-05-17] .
