The first time I came to Vinmec, the nurse asked me for my name and date of birth, and before I could feel pain, I was told that the blood was taken. I was very surprised, this is the first time I experienced painless blood collection thanks to the vacuum blood collection method. Since then, when needed, I always go to Vinmec for testing.”
