Another Stem Cell Center-Tissue Bank launched to serve reproductive health care

On November 25, Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital officially launched the Stem Cell Center - Tissue Bank. The Center was built according to international standards and is a pioneering public unit in the field of stem cell storage and application for reproductive health care, newborns and specialized medical treatment.

Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital officially opened the Stem Cell Center - Tissue Bank.

The Stem Cell Center - Tissue Bank, Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital has been officially licensed by the Ministry of Health after going through a rigorous assessment process, marking an important milestone, affirming that Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital is the first public unit qualified to be fully approved for 4 categories: Receiving and preserving stem cells; domestic supply; exchanging tissues/stem cells with other tissue banks; for the purpose of medical examination and treatment, training and medical research.

Dr. Mai Trong Hung, Director of Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, said that in the context of world medicine entering the era of regenerative medicine, stem cell technology is considered the key to opening many advanced, safe and potential treatment directions for patients.

Director of Hanoi Department of Science and Technology Tran Anh Tuan presented the Ministry of Health's decision on the operation of the Tissue Bank to the Director of Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.

"The establishment of the Stem Cell Center - Tissue Bank is not only a testament to the hospital's vision but also demonstrates our commitment to applying modern scientific achievements in clinical practice, providing optimal methods in high-quality treatment, keeping up with international standards," Dr. Mai Trong Hung emphasized.

Sharing about the distinct advantages of the Stem Cell Center - Tissue Bank, the Director of Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital said that with the convergence of advanced technology meeting international standards, a team of experts and a safe, synchronous and standardized service system, the center implements a variety of types of storage from umbilical cord blood stem cells, umbilical cord tissue to placenta, contributing to the treatment of complex diseases now and in the future.

Dr. Nguyen Trong Phuc, Head of the Tissue-Stem Cell Bank Center, said that the center operates the stem cell processing process using fully automated extraction technology, minimizing errors and optimizing collection efficiency. All activities take place in a clean room system that meets GMP standards and ISO levels specifically for cell manipulation.

Delegates attended the opening ceremony of the Stem Cell Center - Tissue Bank.

The center is equipped with a complex of advanced equipment: a precise microenvironment control incubator; an automatic cord blood stem cell separation system; quality analysis technology using flow techniques with the ability to read up to 10 fluorescence channels; and a large-scale liquid nitrogen storage facility that can simultaneously preserve over 5,000 hematopoietic stem cell units. The scientific and technological infrastructure helps ensure the purity, viability and stability of each stem cell sample for many years.

The center gathers a team of doctors, experts, and technicians trained domestically and internationally. Many staff have more than 10 years of experience working and researching in the field of stem cells at prestigious facilities in Vietnam. In particular, the close combination between the clinical and laboratory blocks creates a distinct strength in diagnosing, processing, and applying stem cells.

The center brings together a team of doctors, experts and technicians trained domestically and internationally.

Speaking at the launching ceremony, Director of the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology Tran Anh Tuan emphasized that Hanoi has strong plans and commitments to develop the fields of science and technology, especially medicine and health care for the people. Accordingly, the city will build a center for research, development and application of modern technology in medicine, with world-class scale and quality; linking hospitals, medical facilities and universities and research institutes to enhance cooperation and data sharing.

At the same time, the city has invested heavily in scientific research; developed nursing homes for the elderly, and integrated high-tech healthcare. Hanoi will implement the connection of medical data between hospitals, in order to minimize the situation of patients having to be re-tested when transferring hospitals. These efforts aim to improve the quality and efficiency of the health system, while promoting scientific research and the application of modern technology in practice.

The Director of Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affirmed that this center will be the key to opening up treatment opportunities in the future: Supporting the treatment of hematological, immunological, and tissue damage diseases, as well as advanced applications in regenerative medicine. The center aims to become the core of stem cell research and application in Vietnam, implementing stem cell application research in intervention, reproductive support and andrology, applying international standards on stem cells in storage, therapy, expanding the supply of products and preparations related to stem cells.
