During a visit to Thong Nhat Hospital, Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc commended the hospital for its sustained efforts and notable achievements in recent years, particularly in improving professional standards and advancing data-driven hospital governance. He highlighted the hospital’s orientation toward becoming a highly specialized tertiary-care institution with a focus on geriatrics, in line with the challenges posed by Vietnam’s rapidly aging population.
He emphasized that Thong Nhat Hospital should continue to develop high-level specialized medical services, with greater attention to rehabilitation, physical therapy, and healthcare for the elderly. In addition, he called for stronger efforts in continuous training, scientific research, and international integration, as well as expanded social work and psychological counseling for patients, with the aim of building a comprehensive, multi-tiered healthcare model.
During his visit to the Central Odonto-Stomatology Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, the Vice Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee called on the hospital to place greater emphasis on professional training, scientific research, the adoption of new medical technologies, and international integration to further improve the quality of specialized dental and maxillofacial care.
He stressed the need for the hospital to continue fulfilling its role as a leading national specialized institution, strengthen coordination with other healthcare facilities, and step up the training of medical personnel. He also encouraged the hospital to gradually deepen its participation in the city’s high-level, specialized healthcare network in the coming period.
On the occasion of the New Year, he extended his best wishes to the staff, doctors, and employees of Thong Nhat Hospital and the Central Odonto-Stomatology Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.
