During their visit, experts from the association held pre-surgery
consultations and took part in operations, some of which were filmed and
screened live for Vietnamese and French doctors outside the operation theatre.

Viet Nhung, the health establishment has been collaborating with the
association for the past decade, gaining valuable expertise from leading lung
experts from France.

per year, the National Lung Hospital is now able to perform 60 ribcage
surgeries every week, with increasingly better outcomes reflected in the
patients’ post-surgery health and recovery.

agencies in terms of healthcare, medical administration, education, research on
lung disease treatment, and supporting the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory
