Binh Dan Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City has performed 3,500 robotic surgeries since adopting the technology nine years ago, marking a significant advancement for Vietnam in the field of high-tech surgery. The milestone was highlighted during the hospital’s 21st scientific congress, held from Thursday to Friday, with the theme “Connecting International Surgical Experts.”

According to Assoc. Prof. Tran Vinh Hung, the hospital’s director, Binh Dan first explored robotic surgery during a visit to Germany in 2014. By late 2016, it became the first hospital in Vietnam to perform robotic surgery on adult patients.

Since then, robotic techniques have been applied to the treatment of more than 15 complex medical conditions, particularly various types of cancer. In 2024 alone, the hospital conducted nearly 700 robotic procedures, reflecting its growing expertise and capacity.

Vietnam officially gained recognition on the global map of robotic surgery by 2022. Today, Binh Dan Hospital stands out as a top-tier specialized surgical center, known for its excellence in gastrointestinal surgery, urology, anesthesiology, and related specialties.

During the meeting with the leadership of MOH on Feb 24th in Hanoi, Party General Secretary To Lam analyze major challenges facing the healthcare sector and outlined the requirements for its development in the new context, with a primary focus on healthcare reforms.

In his opening remarks, To Lam acknowledged that in recent decades, the healthcare sector has made significant breakthroughs, enhancing treatment quality, implementing advanced technologies, and modernizing medicine. Alongside the development of the healthcare system, the training and improvement of the medical staff's quality have also been prioritized, creating a team of doctors and medical experts who meet international standards.

However, the General Secretary also pointed out major challenges that require comprehensive reforms to ensure the task of caring for people's health in the new era. He emphasized that healthcare should not only focus on disease diagnosis and treatment but also on disease prevention. Although Vietnam has a preventive healthcare system, its effectiveness has not yet met expectations.

Although numerous solutions have been proposed to address the challenges, their effectiveness remains limited, and some solutions require time to demonstrate results. However, new challenges continue to emerge, demanding even greater efforts from the healthcare sector.

Vietnam's healthcare sector has made significant progress over the past decades, driven by government reforms and increasing private sector participation. Despite these achievements, the healthcare system still faces three major challenges. First, primary care remains underutilized, while hospitals are overwhelmed with patients. Second, there is a shortage of healthcare professionals, particularly nurses. Lastly, persistent funding gaps lead to substantial out-of-pocket expenses for patients.

These challenges create numerous opportunities for investors to engage in the transformation of Vietnam’s healthcare system while generating significant returns. Notably, pharmaceutical manufacturing plays a crucial role. Vietnam's reliance on expensive imported specialty drugs poses a challenge for managing the national healthcare budget. In response, the government has strongly encouraged investment in domestic pharmaceutical production, particularly for chronic disease treatments and high-cost branded medications. This presents a golden opportunity for investors who can enhance production standards to meet certifications such as the EU-GMP or Japan-GMP.
