Vinmec Health System has increasingly affirmed its pioneering position in the healthcare sector in Vietnam. With a team of highly qualified doctors, state-of-the-art medical equipment, and patient-centered care that meets international standards, Vinmec has become a trusted destination not only for domestic patients but also for international patients from medically advanced countries such as the UK, France, Germany, Australia, and South Korea.
Fast, effective treatment without waiting
In June 2024, Mr. Angus Robert – a citizen of the United Kingdom – chose Vinmec Hai Phong International General Hospital in hopes of regaining his mobility after years of enduring severe pain caused by stage 4 hip osteoarthritis, also known as femoral head necrosis – a serious form of bone necrosis.
Although Mr. Angus Robert had been prescribed a hip replacement surgery in the UK, he faced a waiting time of up to 18 months before the procedure could be scheduled. Unable to endure the ongoing pain and limited mobility any longer, he proactively sought alternative solutions and chose Vinmec Hai Phong – home to one of Southeast Asia’s most advanced 3D hip replacement technologies. Remarkably, less than 24 hours after surgery, Mr. Angus was able to stand and walk on his own – a result that far exceeded expectations.
Similarly, Mr. Antonio Tosatto (63 years old, Australian citizen) decided to undergo treatment at Vinmec Times City in Hanoi. Thanks to personalized 3D joint replacement technology, he recovered quickly, was discharged after just five days, and returned to normal daily activities soon after.
Pioneering the Treatment of Complex and Rare Medical Cases
In addition to possessing cutting-edge medical technologies, Vinmec is also a pioneer in diagnosing and treating complex and rare conditions. A prime example is the successful surgery for a patient suffering from both epilepsy and cerebral vascular malformation – a dangerous medical condition that requires highly specialized intervention techniques and close multidisciplinary collaboration.
Pioneering the Treatment of Complex and Rare Medical Cases
In addition to possessing a wide range of cutting-edge medical technologies, the Vinmec Healthcare System has affirmed its pioneering role in treating complex and rare conditions, bringing hope to patients from around the world.
One notable example is the case of Mr. G.E (55 years old, UK citizen). For an extended period, he lived in constant anxiety due to prolonged epilepsy, even losing his driving privileges for six months because of the risk of seizures. In April 2024, he was admitted to Vinmec Central Park (Ho Chi Minh City) with severe seizures and persistent headaches. Following a thorough examination, neurology specialists discovered a cavernous hemangioma in the right frontal lobe – a rare type of cerebral vascular malformation – and more critically, the lesion had ruptured, causing a brain hemorrhage.
Opting for microsurgery at Vinmec, Mr. G.E hoped to have the lesion completely removed, preserve essential brain functions, and minimize long-term complications. Thanks to the seamless coordination and high expertise of the surgical team, the complex procedure was successfully performed. Remarkably, after surgery, Mr. G.E almost no longer required antiepileptic medication. According to Vinmec statistics, the success rate of neurosurgeries within the system exceeds 95% – an impressive figure even by global standards.
Leading the Way in Advanced Medical Techniques
- Continuing to uphold its pioneering position, Vinmec has taken the lead in implementing a wide range of highly specialized and complex medical techniques. Among the most notable are:
- Total endoscopic cardiac surgery – a minimally invasive technique that shortens recovery time and reduces postoperative complications;
- Living-donor liver transplantation – a procedure that demands exceptional precision and coordination;
- Clinical research on CAR-T cell therapy for hematologic cancers – an advanced, cutting-edge treatment considered a “revolution” in cancer therapy;
- Biologic therapies for allergies and autoimmune diseases – offering sustainable, personalized treatment solutions for chronic conditions.
State-of-the-Art Equipment – International Standards – Global Trust

Hospitals within the Vinmec network are equipped with multi-functional hybrid operating rooms, 4.0 diagnostic imaging systems, and CAP-accredited laboratories (College of American Pathologists – USA), ensuring diagnostic and treatment accuracy while enhancing patient safety in line with international standards.
Moreover, Vinmec is among the few hospital systems in Vietnam to have achieved JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation – the world’s most rigorous certification for hospital quality and patient safety. Vinmec also maintains strong partnerships with prestigious global healthcare and academic institutions, enabling continuous professional development and rapid adoption of cutting-edge medical advancements.
Thanks to these outstanding advantages, on March 20, 2024, according to a report by Indochina Research Vietnam, Vinmec was ranked No.1 in healthcare services for expatriates in Vietnam, with a brand recognition rate of 67% – affirming its position as the top choice for the international community living and working in Vietnam.
The report also revealed that the key factor influencing foreigners' choice of healthcare services in Vietnam is the professional qualifications of doctors, accounting for 53%. This is followed by the quality of medical facilities (48%) and dedicated patient care (40%). These criteria are also Vinmec’s core strengths, which the healthcare system has continuously invested in and developed throughout its journey toward meeting international healthcare standards.
