0:00Examples of free health checks and free

0:02vaccination programs reflect how

0:04Vietnam's health care system is

0:06undergoing one of its most significant

0:08transformations in decades. The

0:10government has designated health care as

0:12a top priority sector for digital

0:15transformation targeting full adoption

0:17of electronic health records and

0:19high-tech equipments. And in Ho Chi Minh

0:21City, hospitals are embracing a new

0:24generation of tools that promise faster

0:26and more accurate patient care. Now, our

0:29reporter has the story.

0:33University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh

0:35City has pioneered the full transition

0:38to paperless electronic medical records,

0:41becoming the first hospital in Vietnam

0:43to officially eliminate paper-based

0:45files entirely. The shift is part of a

0:48broader digital transformation drive

0:50encompassing AI-assisted diagnosis,

0:53telemedicine, and advanced imaging

0:56management systems. For frontline

0:58nursing staff, the change has been

1:00tangible.

1:02In the past, when we were still using

1:04paper records, it was very

1:06time-consuming to search for files and

1:08quite difficult to ensure complete and

1:10accurate documentation. But now, with

1:12electronic medical records,

1:14record-keeping has become more

1:16convenient and accurate, and search for

1:18patient files is also much easier.

1:22For health care facilities, the

1:24synchronized rollout of electronic

1:26medical records and information systems

1:28has helped standardize clinical

1:30workflows, significantly reduce

1:32paperwork, cut operating costs, and

1:35improve management efficiency.

1:40In digital health care, many hospitals

1:42in Vietnam have already implemented

1:44electronic medical records, but the

1:46problem is a lack of standardization.

1:48Once we achieve that standardization,

1:50different hospital systems drawing from

1:52a common data source will give us a

1:54unified, interoperable health data

1:56system that truly makes a difference.

2:01Beyond records, hospitals in Ho Chi Minh

2:03City are also equipping themselves with

2:05the latest generation of medical

2:06devices, pushing the boundaries of

2:09medical standards within the region.

2:12Our facility has been equipped with the

2:15latest ultrasound machines featuring 3D

2:17to 4D imaging and AI integration, the

2:20newest models available this year, which

2:22allows us to detect all fetal

2:24abnormalities during pregnancy.

2:27Vietnam's Resolution 72 on medical

2:30innovation and advancement underscores

2:32the creation of interconnected data

2:35ecosystems, interoperability across

2:38sectors, and the adoption of global

2:40practices to modernize local health care

2:43governance, which will align local

2:45medical data with international

2:47practices.

2:48This is My Khanh reporting from Ho Chi

2:50Minh City for Vietnam today.

2:54From training in the region's surgeons

2:56to performing complex operations on

2:58patients from 26 countries, Binh Dan

3:01Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City has quietly

3:03become one of Southeast Asia's most

3:05respected centers for high-tech surgery.

3:09Our reporter sat down with his deputy

3:11director, Dr. Nguyen Phuoc Cam Hoang, to

3:14find out how hospital founded seven

3:16decades ago is now setting the standard

3:19for robotic and minimally invasive

3:21procedures across the region.

3:24Thank you, Dr. Nguyen Phuoc Cam Hoang,

3:26for joining the interview today.

3:28Binh Dan Hospital has performed nearly

3:311,100 surgeries for international

3:33patients from 26 countries over the past

3:363 years. So, in your view, what factors

3:38have enabled the hospital to achieve

3:41such high quality and international

3:43reputation?

3:44Uh established in 1954,

3:47Binh Dan Hospital has been the cradle of

3:50surgery, Ho Chi Minh City, and the

3:52southern part of Vietnam for nearly

3:55seven decades. The hospital actively

3:58promotes strategic collaboration with

4:01medical society, medical university, and

4:05leading hospitals in developed countries

4:07such as the United States and the

4:10European countries.

4:12In line with Ho Chi Minh City's

4:14development orientation to become an

4:16ASEAN regional healthcare hub

4:19specializing in high-tech medicine,

4:22Binh Dan Hospital is now positioned as a

4:26leading center for general surgery,

4:29thoracic vascular surgery, and urology.

4:33Since 2019,

4:35Binh Dan Hospital was recognized and

4:37selected by the Da Vinci company, USA,

4:41as the first robotic surgeon training

4:43facility in Vietnam.

4:46This is a significant achievement

4:48affirming the hospital's professional

4:51capacity and reputation in high-tech

4:53surgery.

4:55In this role, the hospital has certified

4:5823 robotic surgeons, including 10

5:01general surgery surgeon and 13 urology

5:05surgeon,

5:06along with 13 professional scrub nurses.

5:09The hospital regularly sends doctors

5:11abroad for demonstration surgeries and

5:14technique transfer to countries like

5:16India, Thailand, and Malaysia, while

5:18also hosting international doctors for

5:20training.

5:21Could you share more about this

5:23international collaboration and its

5:24impact on the hospital's expertise?

5:46Malaysia, and Cambodia providing the

5:49in-depth training high-tech urology such

5:53as cutaneous surgery,

5:55urological endoscopy, and laparoscopy.

5:58Binh Dan Hospital is and will continue

6:01to be an attractive destination for the

6:05young doctors who

6:08who is seeking for the opportunities

6:11to work and to study in an academic

6:14environment specializing in advanced
