On 24 Nov 2019, Vinmec Biobank was visited by Prof MD PhD Luong Ngoc Khue - Director of The Medical Examination and Treatment Management Department and colleagues, who conducted the evaluation of Vinmec Tissue Bank on behalf of MOH.
Vinmec Tissue Bank is dedicated to collecting, processing and storing human biological samples for future use in treatment and research.
Vinmec Tissue Bank was established on the basis of Vinmec Cord Blood Bank, officially approved by MOH in 2015. After the presentation of Dr Ngo Anh Tien - Director of Vinmec Biobank, the appraisal council discussed with the Biobank team and provided many valuable comments for the establishment and development of Vinmec Tissue Bank.
At the end of the visit, appraisal council had only few minor requests. The Tissue Bank should get the official approval from MOH soon. This will be a step forward for Vinmec to contribute to scientific research and to support treatments of the future.
