Expanding 11 training programs

This year's cooperation agreement aims to implement 11 comprehensive training and education programs, focusing on key specialties such as cardiology, neuroscience and minimally invasive surgery.

Highlights of the new phase include training courses in neurosurgical techniques, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) and robotic applications in surgery. These are all complex fields that require doctors not only to master knowledge but also to regularly practice and update technology.

Previously, the cooperation between the two sides has brought many positive results, with training programs on minimally invasive spine surgery, hemorrhagic stroke treatment, in-depth seminars on lung transplantation and thoracic aortic surgery - the most complex specialties at Viet Duc Friendship Hospital.

Promote continuing medical education

Under the agreement, Medtronic will continue to jointly implement Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs. This model helps surgeons quickly master new techniques, improve treatment outcomes and meet the increasing needs of patients.

Mr. Mongkol Sankum, Director of Medtronic Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos shared: “We are proud to cooperate with Viet Duc Friendship Hospital - a pioneer in medical training and patient care.

With this partnership, Medtronic not only brings advanced technology to patients, but also works with the hospital to build a leading surgical training center. This is not only a technological step forward, but also a testament to the shared vision of both parties in improving the quality of healthcare for the people of Vietnam."

With support from Medtronic, we not only improve treatment options for patients but also equip medical staff with the knowledge and skills to contribute to the development of the healthcare industry across the country."

Community Oriented
