and conference held in Hanoi on June 20.
The event aimed to deploy information technology applications to promote the
digital transformation of the health sector.
Jointly organised by the Vietnam Medical Association, Vietnam Medical Device
Association, BHub Group and Vietnam Software and IT Services Association, the
event connected businesses, allowing them to share experiences, introduce and
promote technological improvements in hospitals and medical facilities in Vietnam.
Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister of Health Tran Van Thuan said the Fourth
Industrial Revolution would affect leadership and management in the healthcare
sector as well as the provision and access to healthcare services.
“The Ministry of Health approved the health digital transformation programme by
2025, which highlights that health digital transformation would apply
information and technology, especially modern digital technologies for positive
changes in the healthcare activities,” he added.

access medical services through digital technology without going to hospitals.
