Vietnam-Germany Hospital receives RCS centre accreditation

This accreditation is set to be in effect until February, 2024.

The accreditation process itself includes an assessment of facilities, resources, and faculties, in addition to an evaluation of the education portfolio. This is in addition to the infrastructure and quality management processes which serve to underpin the delivery of the centre's educational product.

Originally established in 1906, the hospital makes up the largest surgical centre in Vietnam and specialises in several major areas such as medical care, scientific research, education, and training. Other significant areas include international co-operation, medical direction guidelines, medicine prevention, and economic management.

The hospital carries out a number of training courses for thousands of students annually, whilst also co-operating with international hospitals from across the world, including France, the United States, Japan, the UK, the Republic of Korea, Australia, and Taiwan (China).

It has also set up a telemedicine system alongside other local peripheral hospitals funded by German official development assistance (ODA) capital.
