Three milestones put Hanoi Medical University at the forefront of health sector training

(NLDO) - Hanoi Medical University affirms its leading position in the health sciences sector, in which the Advanced Nursing Program has sent nearly 300 bachelors to work in Germany.

On December 6, Hanoi Medical University held a ceremony to celebrate three milestones: 30 years of Nursing training, 25 years of Medical Testing and 15 years of Advanced Nursing Program. This is an opportunity for the school to look back on its development journey, and at the same time affirm its position in training human resources in health sciences and international integration.

Professor Nguyen Huu Tu, President of Hanoi Medical University, shares about three important training milestones of the school.

At the ceremony, Professor Dr. Nguyen Huu Tu, Principal of the school, commented that the three programs are an important foundation, creating a consistent mark and contributing greatly to the development of the school. The 30-year milestone of nursing training affirms the pioneering role of Hanoi Medical University, when in 1995 the school opened the Bachelor of Nursing program, ending 50 years of training only at the intermediate level.

This decision helps narrow the training gap with the region and create a team of highly qualified nurses. To date, nearly 50% of the nursing workforce has achieved college or university degrees.

Along with that, since the early 2000s, the School has pioneered in training regular bachelors of medical testing, meeting the urgent need for high-quality human resources, those who lay the foundation for accuracy in diagnosis and treatment.

In 2010, the Advanced Nursing Program was launched, taught in English following the model of CSU Long Beach University (USA) and implemented under the high-quality human resource training project of the Ministry of Education and Training. This is the only program in the health sector that meets international standards.

To date, nearly 300 nursing graduates from the school have practiced in Germany after passing the licensing exam, creating a large Vietnamese nursing community in Europe.

At the ceremony, Mr. Pham Duc Muc, Chairman of the Vietnam Nursing Association, emphasized the pioneering role of Hanoi Medical University and the decision to open a bachelor's degree in nursing in 1995 as a "revolutionary turning point".

He said that for 50 years (1945-1995), Vietnam's nursing industry only trained at intermediate level. Pioneering in opening university training helped Vietnam narrow the gap with the region. From a lack of highly qualified human resources, nearly half of the country's nurses now have college and university degrees, contributing to improving the quality of patient care.

Hanoi Medical University has now developed 15 undergraduate programs and 264 postgraduate programs. The number of staff has increased from less than 1,000 to more than 3,000 people, and the number of students from less than 10,000 to 16,000.

In 2024-2025, the school will participate in international rankings for the first time and will be ranked 801-1,000 in the world ; the Health Sciences sector will be ranked 501-600, the only Vietnamese unit in this field to be ranked. The school's training quality index is also the highest among the Vietnamese universities ranked.
