The first hospital in the Mekong Delta to receive AACI certification from the United States.

On December 15th, Nam Can Tho University Hospital held a ceremony to announce that it had become the first hospital in the Mekong Delta region to receive AACI certification from the United States.

Representatives from AACI USA presented the accreditation certificate to Nam Can Tho University Hospital.

Attending the ceremony were Ms. Ho Thi Cam Dao, Deputy Secretary and Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Can Tho City; leaders of the People's Committee of Can Tho City, departments and agencies, representatives of AACI, and leaders of Nam Can Tho University Hospital.

After undergoing a rigorous evaluation and assessment process, Nam Can Tho University Hospital was officially recognized as meeting the US AACI accreditation standards on November 9, 2025, with a score of 92.16%. This is the first medical facility in the Mekong Delta region to achieve international accreditation according to the US AACI standards.

AACI certification in the United States is one of the world's leading and most prestigious accreditation systems, with extremely stringent requirements regarding patient safety, professional competence, quality management processes for healthcare services, facilities, equipment, and especially a patient-centered culture.
