Military Hospital 103 is stepping up scientific research linked to practical application.

Many valuable scientific research findings from Military Hospital 103 have been effectively applied in clinical practice, contributing to improving the quality of healthcare for soldiers and civilians.

Military Hospital 103 is stepping up scientific research linked to application, focusing on building strong research groups and increasing international publications. In particular, the hospital has mastered and implemented advanced and specialized techniques to promote comprehensive digital transformation in medical examination and treatment, training, and hospital management.

Major General Luong Cong Thuc - Director of Military Hospital 103 - emphasized this at the International Scientific Conference themed "Applying science and technology to improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment in the digital transformation era," held on December 12 in Hanoi .

Established during the resistance war against the French under the initial name "Treatment Team 3," Military Hospital 103 (Military Medical Academy) has, over 75 years of development, growth, and progress, become one of the Army's strategic top-tier hospitals, simultaneously performing three important functions: treatment, training, and scientific research.

Throughout its development, the hospital has consistently identified science, technology, and innovation as key drivers for improving the quality of medical care, training medical personnel, and achieving sustainable development. Many valuable scientific research results have been effectively applied in clinical practice, contributing to improved healthcare for soldiers and civilians. A prime example is the organ transplantation project, which won the Ho Chi Minh Prize for Science and Technology.

In addition, the hospital places special emphasis on military medical research, serving the mission of protecting and caring for the health of soldiers in various combat conditions, in remote areas, border regions, and islands, and successfully carrying out assigned international missions, such as the United Nations peacekeeping mission in South Sudan; and search and rescue missions after earthquake disasters in Türkiye and Myanmar.

The healthcare sector is currently facing numerous major challenges: rapidly changing disease patterns, an increase in non-communicable diseases, the emergence and complexity of new infectious diseases, an aging population, and the increasingly serious problem of antibiotic resistance. These challenges demand a new approach based on science, technology, and innovation.

In this context, the application of digital technology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, genetic technology, and precision medicine is opening up new opportunities to improve the effectiveness of diagnosis, treatment, and management of human health.

Professor Tran Viet Tien - Director of the Military Medical Academy - emphasized that Military Hospital 103 has developed into a strategic, top-tier hospital of the Army, as well as a major center for treatment, training, and achieving many accomplishments in medical scientific research. The hospital serves as a center for specialized medicine and a reputable scientific institution domestically, and is gradually integrating internationally.

Military Hospital 103 was the place where the first five organ transplants in Vietnam were performed: kidney transplant in 1992; liver transplant in 2004; heart transplant in 2010; multi-organ transplant in 2014; and lung transplant in 2017, and was a pioneer in kidney transplantation.

Professor Tran Viet Tien emphasized that the conference aims to create a forum for academic exchange, updating scientific advancements, and sharing research and clinical practice experiences among scientists and doctors from Vietnam and abroad.

The conference featured 33 reports from domestic authors and 12 professors, doctors, and leading experts from countries with advanced medical systems, such as the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan (China). It included plenary sessions and thematic sessions, with many valuable scientific reports in fields such as internal medicine, surgery, organ transplantation, cardiology, infectious diseases, diagnostic imaging, genetics, and digital transformation in medicine. It also combined a continuing medical education program, contributing to enhancing the professional capacity of medical professionals…/.
