Speaking at the opening of the conference, Professor, Dr. Pham Gia Khanh said that organ transplantation is the most miraculous thing in medicine and one of the 12 greatest scientific inventions of mankind in the 20th century. Since the first successful kidney transplant in 1992 at the Military Medical Academy, organ transplantation has become a routine technique, and the technical level has caught up with the world . Even the organ transplantation industry in Vietnam has many achievements that make the world admire, despite starting decades later.
In particular, since the early years of the 21st century, Vietnam has had a large number of transplant facilities and a solid team of professionals. Transplantation of large organs in the abdomen, chest, cornea, limbs, bone marrow, stem cells, etc. has reached the level of other countries in the region.
Lieutenant General, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Kien spoke at the conference.
Speaking at the conference, Lieutenant General, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Kien said that with the tradition of being a pioneer in the field of organ transplantation in Vietnam, the Military Medical Academy is currently one of the four leading centers for organ transplantation in the country and the Army. The Academy's organ transplantation complex won the Ho Chi Minh Prize for Science and Technology in 2005.
In particular, in December 2022, the Military Medical Academy supported and helped the Lao People's Army's 103 Central Hospital successfully transplant kidneys for the first two patients. This event is a historic turning point, opening a new page for the field of organ transplantation in Laos in particular and the Lao health sector in general.

The conference was attended by more than 130 quality scientific reports from domestic authors and 9 delegates who are professors and leading experts in organ transplantation in the world from countries with developed medicine with one plenary session and 15 specialized sessions on organ transplantation.
