Chi Minh City’s Health Department on January 5 announced that a hi-tech
screening and diagnostic centre is being developed at Oncology Hospital 2
in Thu Duc city, as part of a project to develop a specialised medical centre in
the south of Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
According to the department, the centre
attracts medical workers with high expertise from central hospitals in the
city.
The centre is equipped with modern
medical devices to help medical workers detect early lesions in the brain,
eyeballs, spine diseases, benign tumors, malignant tumors in organs, and gene
sequencing.
Besides specialising in early detecting
diseases, particularly cancers, doctors at the centre use different testing
techniques to assess the current health conditions of customers, and check the
health history of their relatives, through which they can offer
recommendations for the consumers to maintain a healthy lifestyle as good as
possible.
The Health Department expects that the
hi-tech medical centre will help reduce the number of patients travelling
abroad for medical examination and treatment. Moreover, it also aims to attract
foreigners to help the city develop its medical tourism./.
