Entering a new era, an era of improving ourselves, developing wealth and prosperity for the nation, Mr. Nghia requested the leaders and medical staff of Thong Nhat Hospital to continue to thoroughly grasp and implement the viewpoints, tasks and solutions for developing healthcare, society, taking care of people's health, and ensuring social security.

This is the top priority task that medical and health care facilities such as hospitals need to perform.

Expand international cooperation, promote research and application of scientific and technical advances, advanced technology, and digital transformation.

Especially focus on building a team of cadres with solid political background, good professional qualifications, exemplary style, fully meeting the requirements of medical theory, medical skills and medical ethics.
