| The two parties signed the memorandum |
Under the memorandum, both sides will collaborate on several key activities, including research on endoscopic ultrasound, organization of specialized workshops and scientific conferences, as well as training programs aimed at enhancing the skills of medical personnel. Notably, FUJIFILM Vietnam will provide research equipment, sponsor scholarships for gastrointestinal endoscopy training courses, and supply the advanced MIKOTO endoscopy simulation model throughout the training period.
MIKOTO is a high-fidelity endoscopy training simulator developed by FUJIFILM. It allows doctors to practice on anatomically accurate models that closely resemble real human structures. The system also integrates real-time feedback and objective skill analysis, helping trainees improve their learning outcomes, clinical reflexes, and real-world decision-making capabilities.
In addition, FUJIFILM Vietnam will also sponsor a two-year maintenance package for the entire endoscopy system at Hue Central Hospital’s Endoscopy Center. Looking ahead, both sides plan to organize advanced international training courses on endoscopic ultrasound in partnership with Kyoto Miniren Central Hospital (Japan) and Rajavithi Hospital (Thailand), scheduled for Quarter 4/2025 and Quarter1/2026.
