Project Description

If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the bank's website, "the additional financing will provide targeted investments for additional 8 provincial hospitals and 73 district referral hospitals not covered under the original project. It will focus upgrading of hospital clinical care, laboratory, IPC, and human resource capacity to respond to COVID-19 and other public health threats. The proposed project will strengthen surveillance, response, and risk communications capacity for COVID-19 and other epidemic prone diseases nationwide. The additional financing will complement ADB support under the COVID-19 Active Response and Expenditure Support (CARES) Program and the The Responsive COVID-19 Vaccines for Recovery (RECOVER) Project. The additional financing project remains aligned with the outcome of the original project: Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) health system performance with regard to health security improved."

Contact Information

This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
