Quynh Lap Central Dermatology and Leprosy Hospital was established during a difficult period of the country, when all resources were lacking and the healthcare system faced many challenges. Assigned the important task of caring for, nurturing and treating leprosy patients, a disease once considered "four incurable diseases", the hospital has gone through 67 years of construction and development, constantly innovating to excellently complete the assigned tasks. From Quynh Lap Leprosy Hospital, through many name changes and reorganizations, in April 2005, the hospital was officially named Quynh Lap Central Dermatology and Leprosy Hospital, with the task of examining, treating, preventing, and rehabilitating leprosy patients, dermatology patients and HIV/AIDS at the highest level in the North Central region.

Medical examination and treatment at the Hospital are increasingly focused on and improved. In addition to the Leprosy - Dermatology department, the hospital has developed many other departments such as Emergency Resuscitation, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Eyes, Ear, Nose and Throat, and Rehabilitation, with modern equipment such as testing machines, endoscopy, ultrasound, and digital X-ray. The team of doctors and nurses are trained to improve their skills, helping to successfully implement many high-tech services, from endoscopic surgery to complex surgeries. The hospital also directs dermatology units in 6 North Central provinces in screening and treating leprosy patients, ensuring that all new patients receive multi-chemotherapy and adequate care.
