From a low starting point in the early days of the province's establishment (1991), after more than 30 years of development, the health sector of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province has a relatively complete system of physical facilities. The human resources of the industry are regularly consolidated, enhanced and supplemented, so they are growing stronger, thereby meeting the task of taking care of people's health well.
Besides investing in facilities, the provincial health sector also focuses on attracting, training and recruiting to develop quality human resources
In 2015, Ba Ria Hospital with a total investment of more than VND 2,000 billion was inaugurated and put into use in Long Tam ward (Ba Ria city), marking a remarkable development in infrastructure investment for the health sector. The hospital has a construction area of over 67,000m2, 17 floors, with 700 beds and separate functional areas. This is also the hospital with the largest scale and investment in the Southeast region. To have worthy development, the hospital has been paid attention and invested with a variety of modern machineries and medical equipment by the province to serve the examination, diagnosis and treatment of patients such as: digital subtraction angiography machine for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases; mammography machine for early detection of breast cancer; lithotripter; 128-slice CT scanner, MRI, Digital X-ray; and automated modern biochemical testing system.
Doctor Pham Minh An, Director of the Department of Health, once shared: "The construction of Ba Ria Hospital has been desired by the people in the province for a long time, and is also the cherished and concerned by many generations of provincial leaders." After having a spacious facility, Ba Ria Hospital has established more departments such as: Neurology, dialysis, oncology, trauma and orthopedics, internal cardiology-gerontology; at the same time deploying interventional cardiology and functional exploration unit.

Another hospital project is also expected by medical staff, doctors and people to contribute to improving the quality of medical examination and treatment for the people. That is Vung Tau Hospital, located in Ward 11 (Vung Tau City), one of the typical constructions to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the province. The hospital’s construction began in July 2017, with a total construction area of 10,330m2, an investment of about VND 1,094 billion.
