The first hospital in Vietnam to be recognized as an Asian record in the field of IVF

Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City has just been recognized by the Asian Record Organization as the "First hospital in Asia to have an ISO 5 standard embryology lab system following the 'lab in lab' model, applied in gamete manipulation and embryo culture".

The baby was born by in vitro fertilization.

On September 21, the Asia Record Organization awarded the Asia Record and Vietnam Record to Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. The event was attended by the Board of Directors of the World Records Union (WorldKings), the Central Committee of the Vietnam Record Holders Association - Vietnam Record Organization, the community of record holders - record holders nationwide.

Representative of Asia Book of Records (ABR) - Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury - President of World Record Union said that before announcing the Asian record, Asia Book of Records (ABR) compared it with other record systems to check if the record had been recorded in the Book of Records of India, Vietnam, Indonesia, or other Asian countries.

The team of Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City received an Asian record in the field of IVF.

A medical advisory board made up of doctors and medical experts from several countries, including Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Bangladesh and even some non-Asian countries like the US, reviewed all the evidence and made a decision on whether the record was eligible for recognition.

According to Professor, Academician Hoang Quang Thuan, representative of the World Records Union (WorldKings) Leadership Board/Central Committee of Vietnam Record Holders Association, the record-setting process for Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City was carried out in a systematic, scientific and transparent manner based on independently collected data, details of the embryology lab system of the Reproductive Support Center of Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, cross-checking many steps, from lab design, operating procedures, in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rate, to safety indicators and service quality..., and comparing with international standards.

Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury shared that Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City has made outstanding contributions to the field of assisted reproduction in Vietnam. In the context of the rapidly increasing demand for in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Vietnam, India, Asia as well as around the world, this achievement has special significance for society and deserves to be awarded an Asian record.

The hospital's embryology lab system also set a Vietnamese record, being the first hospital to build an ISO 5 standard embryology lab system following the "lab in lab" model, applied in gamete manipulation and embryo culture.

At the event, the hospital's embryology lab system also set a Vietnamese record, being the first hospital to build an ISO 5 standard embryology lab system following the "lab in lab" model, applied in gamete manipulation and embryo culture.

To establish the Vietnam and Asia Records, the hospital's IVF Lab system was compared to confirm its superiority. The ISO 5 standard embryo culture room brings significant benefits in assisted reproductive practices.

Associate Professor, Doctor, Doctor Le Hoang, Director of the Center for Reproductive Support, Tam Anh General Hospital, Hanoi, said, "The breakthroughs in embryo creation and embryo culture technology in the first and only ISO 5 "lab in lab" of Tam Anh, along with a series of the world's leading advanced technologies applied, have helped not only increase the success rate but also improve the quality of transferred embryos when it is possible to screen embryos with the desired high quality.

In addition to the most modern embryo culture system in Southeast Asia, meeting ISO 5 super clean standards, IVF Tam Anh has invested heavily and developed a synchronous system of modern machinery and equipment imported from countries with modern medicine such as Germany, Japan, the US, Denmark... with the latest generation, many types are only available in Vietnam or rare in Southeast Asia.

The embryo culture cabinet system is equipped with a continuous observation camera integrated with artificial intelligence, which is considered a "magic eye" to help embryologists comprehensively observe the embryo's development process.

Doctors and embryologists at IVF Tam Anh are experienced and have mastered advanced technologies and techniques such as fertilization and embryo culture, even in extremely difficult cases.

In particular, in addition to treatment, doctors and experts are constantly researching, innovating, and building a "three-legged stool" strategy that closely coordinates male infertility, female infertility, embryo culture lab, and personalized protocols, contributing to increasing the cumulative pregnancy rate year by year.

According to statistics from 2021-2024, the cumulative pregnancy results of all patient groups at IVF Tam Anh Ho Chi Minh City increased gradually over the years, averaging up to 80.1%, of which in the group of patients under 28 years old, this rate reached 86.9%.

In particular, in the group of patients with multiple failures, the average cumulative success rate was up to 71.9%. This is a very encouraging number, creating strong motivation for infertile couples with poor prognosis (older wives, many medical conditions, long-term infertility, multiple embryo transfer failures, women with ovarian failure, men with no sperm, etc.), who have successfully had a healthy child even with only one embryo.
