According to Dr Le Duc Nhan, Director of Da Nang Hospital, the conference aims to strengthen professional connectivity and augment cooperation between Vietnamese and international medical experts, contributing to improved healthcare quality and more comprehensive patient care.

He noted that, beyond updating scientific and technical knowledge, the conference places strong emphasis on practical clinical training, particularly through hands-on technical procedures and mentoring-based training programmes, helping bridge modern medical advances with real-world treatment practice and supporting the long-term development of Vietnam’s healthcare sector.
