Hanoi (VNA) – in has been selected as
one of 21 regional training centres of the Belgium-based International Society
of Nephrology (ISN).

The hospital will become a training centre in nephrology (the study of
kidneys) over a five-year period to 2026, and that status will be maintained if
it fulfils ISN’s criteria.

Cho Ray will provide in-depth specialised training to improve patient
care in Vietnam and other countries in the region in the fields of general
nephrology, , peritoneal dialysis, and transplants.

Training activities will be in the form of hosting fellows and
educational meetings and workshops on regionally relevant topics, and sharing
knowledge and expertise via the ISN Educational Ambassadors of Continuing
Medical Education programme, among others.

Alongside Cho Ray, other medical establishments selected in Oceania and
Southeast Asia include Malaysia’s Hospital Kuala Lumpur and Thailand’s King
Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in Bangkok.

efforts to establish and develop nephrology in developing countries./.
