Nghe An Oncology Hospital becomes the regional final line

On July 30th, information from the Nghe An Oncology Hospital indicated that, according to Decision No. 2223, the Ministry of Health assigned the Nghe An Oncology Hospital the task of being the leading specialized hospital in the North Central region.

Accordingly, Nghe An Oncology Hospital is responsible for training, transferring, coordinating, and providing technical and professional support to medical facilities in the region, and for carrying out tasks as assigned and directed by the Ministry of Health .

Currently, the Nghe An Oncology Hospital receives and treats an average of about 1,000 patients from Nghe An and neighboring provinces each day.

In addition to a team of well-trained doctors and medical staff, the hospital has continuously invested in the most modern equipment in the North Central region, such as: SPECT/CT system, 3D mammography, immunohistochemistry system, 64-128 slice CT scanner, 1.5 Tesla MRI system, Maxio robot, endoscopic ultrasound system, fully automated laboratory testing system, etc.

The hospital has successfully implemented advanced and specialized techniques that were previously only available at central-level hospitals, such as: lung biopsy guided by the Maxio robot, and advanced interventional radiology techniques such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for liver and lung tumors, immunohistochemical staining, and tumor gene sequencing, thereby effectively applying targeted therapy and immunotherapy in cancer treatment.

In particular, with two modern radiotherapy systems, including the Precise and Synergy Platform systems, the hospital has implemented many high-tech radiotherapy techniques, most notably intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), which helps achieve maximum treatment effectiveness at the tumor site while minimizing damage to adjacent healthy organs. This has completed a multi-modal treatment protocol for cancer.

The hospital is urgently completing the Nghe An Oncology Hospital (phase 2) project, with a total construction floor area of 75,000m2 and a main building with a capacity of 1,400 beds, at a total investment of 1,259 billion VND.

Alongside construction work, the hospital continues to develop high-quality human resources and invest in many other modern equipment such as: Cyclotron radioactive isotope production system, Pet-Ct system, next-generation sequencing (NGS) system, vascular intervention system, etc., to improve the quality of examination and treatment.
