Each year, Vietnamese people spend at least 2 billion USD to seek medical treatment abroad. This figure was announced by the Ministry of Health at a recent healthcare transformation conference.

Overcoming fierce competition, many healthcare professionals from Hue City have earned scholarships for being trained abroad.

Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long recently signed a decision approving the plan to implement the healthcare network development strategy for the 2021- 2030 period, prioritizing the development of six hospitals to meet international standards, including Hue Central Hospital (HCH). With a 130-year tradition, Hue Central Hospital is seizing numerous development opportunities. Hue Today Weekly had an interview with Prof. Dr. Pham Nhu Hiep, Director of HCH, who shared the following insights:

“Hue is ancient, yet always new and surprising. Anyone who has ever spent an entire misty morning or a cool sunset walking along the two banks of the Huong River will feel the magical vitality of Hue today... Hue is developing day by day, gradually worthy a city of heritage, a future center of specialized culture, education, tourism and healthcare of the country and the region” - These are the deep feelings of a distant friend about a Hue that is "forever beautiful and poetic".

After the process of researching and developing products, Thua Thien Hue will systematically exploit healthcare tourism products to attract domestic and foreign tourists.

Remote consultation, examination, and treatment with the "Doctor for Every Family" (DFEF) software has created a healthcare network without limitations between different levels. This marks a significant milestone in the digital transformation in the medical field.

“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together” - a saying by billionaire Warren Buffett - is the motivation for Thua Thien Hue to develop health tourism products. It still takes a long time for this type of tourism to become special, lucrative, and boost healthcare into an important economic sector of the local, but once many hands come together to connect and move forward, Thua Thien Hue will go a long way.
