The Vietnam‑Denmark healthcare cooperation conference of 2026 was held in Denmark, concentrating on smart hospitals, digital health and biomedical innovation. Reading this shows how Vietnam can learn from Denmark’s high‑tech medical expertise.

More than 50 Vietnamese officials, doctors and experts attended, meeting Danish leaders from Aalborg University Hospital. International organisations such as the Wyss Institute, Karolinska Institute, Novo Nordisk and Schneider Electric/AVEVA also took part.

The event came right after a state visit by Vietnam’s President To Lam and the upgrade of bilateral ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. It was designed to turn high‑level agreements into concrete actions in health, science and technology.

Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyen Le Thanh said the partnership creates a new framework for cooperation in knowledge‑intensive fields like healthcare and life sciences. Aalborg University Hospital CEO Lars Dahl Pedersen pledged long‑term cooperation in smart hospital management, AI, precision medicine and workforce training.

On 20 October, Hospital 19‑8 and Aalborg University Hospital signed a memorandum of understanding in front of King Frederik X and President To Lam. This agreement highlights the practical steps Vietnam can take to adopt smart‑hospital systems, AI tools and precision medicine through international collaboration.
