Merging Hai Duong Medical College into Hai Duong Medical Technical University

The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Health and the People's Committee of Hai Duong province to direct relevant agencies and units to hand over and receive the personnel, finance, assets, and students of Hai Duong Medical College to Hai Duong Medical Technical University in accordance with the law. The merger and reorganization process must ensure normal operations, legal and legitimate rights and interests of the parties involved, and prevent negativity, loss, and waste of finance and assets.

The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Education and Training to direct and guide Hai Duong Medical Technical University on training and granting degrees to students studying at Hai Duong Medical College in accordance with the provisions of law.

Hai Duong Medical Technical University is one of 11 higher education institutions under the Ministry of Health, training in medicine, nursing, medical technology at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Hai Duong Medical College is a public school under the People's Committee of Hai Duong province, training nursing, midwifery and intermediate medical staff.

Previously, the People's Committee of Hai Duong province had developed a project to merge Hai Duong Medical College into Hai Duong Medical Technical University. Accordingly, Hai Duong Medical College is maintaining the operation of a vocational training facility, with 34 employees. For many years, the school has not met its enrollment target. Therefore, the ability to continue maintaining and expanding college and intermediate training is facing many difficulties.

It is forecasted that in the coming years, Hai Duong Medical College will not be able to meet the requirements of financial autonomy and will not be qualified to continue operating. The planning of Hai Duong province for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, orients the plan for developing education and training infrastructure, in which the following years will consolidate and develop Hai Duong Medical Technical University without Hai Duong Medical College. Therefore, the merger is necessary.

According to the project, Hai Duong Medical College will be merged into Hai Duong Medical Technical University to form a public service unit, a university education institution under the Ministry of Health.

The school headquarters after the merger has 3 areas, including 2 areas belonging to Hai Duong Medical Technical University on Nguyen Luong Bang Street and Vu Huu Street (Hai Duong City), and 1 area is the area merged in its original state from Hai Duong Medical College also on Nguyen Luong Bang Street.
