Free diabetic retinopathy screening for more than 600 patients

As part of a robotic surgery training program held from October 30 to November 4, Hue Central Hospital (HCH) partnered with Van Hanh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City to conduct remote robotic surgery simulations using two Kangduo SR2000 surgical robot systems. This marks the first time such an online, hands-on robotic surgery training model has been implemented in Vietnam, marking a new step forward in applying advanced technology to the training and transfer of modern surgical techniques.

Hue Central Hospital has held a discharge ceremony for a 9-year-old patient, B.H.N.Y., coming from Dong Nai Province, following a successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant using cells donated by her biological older brother.

Hue Central Hospital (HCH) has successfully performed two consecutive kidney transplants using LifePort organ preservation technology, bringing the total number of kidney transplants performed at the hospital using this technology to five. Notably, one donor kidney was transported more than 1.800 km across Vietnam after approximately 18 hours of cold ischemia, helping expand life-saving opportunities for patients with end-stage kidney disease.

On the morning of October 23rd, Hue Central Hospital held the 2026 Southeast Asia International Endoscopy Conference, bringing together experts and physicians from Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and numerous healthcare institutions across Vietnam. The conference served as a scientific forum to update participants on advances in gastrointestinal endoscopy, share clinical experience, and promote training cooperation and the transfer of advanced interventional endoscopic techniques across the region.

On October 21, Hue Central Hospital held a scientific workshop titled ‘Application of Robotic Technology in Spinal Surgery’. The event marked an important step toward adopting advanced technologies and strengthening Vietnam’s capacity to treat complex spinal conditions.
