Project Name: Supervisory Service on the improvement of Setthathirath Hospital
Project Narrative
Setthathirath Hospital is one of the five central hospitals in the capital built by the Japan’s grant aid project (1999). In recent years, the number of its outpatients has been significantly increasing, reaching 90,000 per year. However, hospital facilities are not functioning well for the increase in outpatients and deterioration of the equipment is remarkable; thus appropriate diagnosis and treatment cannot be sufficiently provided and the setthathirath Hospital cannot maintain appropriate environment to provide the proper and effective clinical training for students and staffs.
The government of Lao P.D.R Classed improving of healthcare services as a prioritized area in the “8th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (2016-2020)”. In addition, the Ministry of Health promotes the implementation of “Health sector reform strategies and framework till 2025” aiming at achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
