The website of ABR wrote that in 2021, the hospital successfully launched an ISO 5 embryo culture room nested within an ISO 6 gamete and embryo manipulation room, ensuring optimal environmental control. This innovative design separates critical processes to protect embryos and gametes from contamination, setting a new benchmark in reproductive medicine, as confirmed on September 10, 2025.

This marks the first time a Vietnamese hospital has set an Asian record in the field of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF).

According to ABR representative Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, the recognition process involved cross-checking against records in India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other Asian countries. An international medical advisory council, with experts from Indonesia, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and the United States, independently reviewed the evidence and confirmed that Tam Anh’s “lab-in-lab” system meets international standards.

Professor and Academician Hoang Quang Thuan, representing World Records Union (WorldKings), emphasised that the verification process was conducted scientifically and transparently, based on detailed data covering lab design, operating procedures, IVF success rates, and safety indicators.

Dr. Giang Huynh Nhu, director of IVF Tam Anh Ho Chi Minh City, who proposed and implemented the “lab-in-lab” system, explained that the lab is designed to strictly isolate embryos and gametes from external factors. Micro-environmental elements such as temperature, humidity, lighting, oxygen concentration, and air quality are tightly controlled, significantly improving fertilisation outcomes, blastocyst development, and clinical pregnancy rates.

Between 2021 and 2024, IVF Tam Anh achieved an average cumulative pregnancy rate of over 80%, reaching nearly 87% among patients under 28. Even in cases of repeated IVF failure, the success rate was close to 72%. Notably, 100% of children born through IVF at the centre developed normally, with lower rates of common illnesses compared to the national average.

Associate Professor Dr. Tran Quang Binh, medical director at Tam Anh General Hospital, noted that the centre offers technology equivalent to leading international IVF facilities at only one-third of the cost compared to many ASEAN countries. This advantage has attracted growing numbers of foreign patients from the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and the Philippines, positioning Vietnam as a rising medical destination in the region.

This Asian record not only highlights IVF Tam Anh’s pioneering role but also signals new opportunities for Vietnam’s assisted reproduction sector to expand its regional and global presence.
