HCM City (VNA) – City International Hospital
and Gia An 115 Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City have become the first two in Vietnam to receive the accreditation from the American Accreditation Commission
International (AACI), one of the world’s most prestigious
healthcare accreditation organisations.

Speaking at a ceremony to receive the accreditation in HCM
City on November 28, Tran Thi Lam, President of which runs the
two hospitals, said the two have met all the 14 different criterial of the AACI.

Deputy Minister of Health Le Duc Luan hailed the
contributions by the Hoa Lam High-Tech Medical Complex in recent years as contributing to providing healthcare services to thousands of people each year.

He noted that the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 20-NQ/TW
set a target to raise the rate of beds provided by the private medical system to
10% of the total beds in the country in 2025 and 30% in 2035, stressing that
there is plenty of room for the private medical sector to grow.

The official expressed his hope that the two hospitals will
continue to work hard to maintain international standards while further
enhancing their services, contributing to turning HCM City into a healthcare
centre of the ASEAN region in the future.

Headquartered in the US, the AACI provides healthcare
accreditation and clinical excellence recognition. AACI certification was first
issued in 2014, in many fields and types of health care services such
as hospitals, primary healthcare, dentistry, outpatient services, and physical
therapy.

The AACI Standards have been recognised by the International
Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua)./.
