In 2025, the Vietnam Patent Association honored her as an "International Patent Knight." Between 2015 and 2025 alone, she was granted 183 exclusive patents globally, with many of her spinal protection inventions successfully commercialized both domestically and internationally.
During the visit, Deputy Head Nguyen Viet Long extended his best wishes to the doctor and her family. He highlighted that Ho Chi Minh City is proactively implementing Resolution No. 72-NQ/TW, issued by the Politburo on September 9, 2025, regarding breakthrough solutions to enhance public healthcare.
