He also affirmed that the launch of this Center demonstrates the determination to constantly innovate, improve service quality and develop specific care models for the elderly - one of the population groups that needs the most special attention from the health sector.

Dr. Truong Thi Nhu Y, Director of the Center for Examination and Treatment on Demand and Internationally, Central Geriatric Hospital, said that population aging is an inevitable global trend, including Vietnam.

The characteristic of the elderly is multi-morbidity, which means that in addition to taking medication, it is necessary to pay attention to geriatric syndromes. Therefore, in addition to treating common chronic diseases in the elderly, the center will focus on treating geriatric syndromes such as functional decline, movement and cognitive disorders; psychology, nutrition, and rehabilitation to improve the quality of life for the elderly. At the same time, the center will develop specialized services such as psychological counseling, treatment of nutritional disorders and aging-related problems.

"The center will focus on improving professional quality, applying new techniques and transferring them to lower levels. At the same time, the center will recruit and train high-quality human resources, including doctors, nurses and technicians, both domestically and internationally; open training courses on patient attitude and service towards patient satisfaction with the goal of improving the quality of medical examination and treatment for the elderly," said Dr. Nhu Y.
