Hong Bang International University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, inaugurated its 350-bed University Hospital on September 20th.
The hospital received its operating license from the Ministry of Health on June 15, 2026, and evolved from the Van Phuc City Hospital through investment aligning it with the university’s medical programs. The new facility contains 28 departments and two specialized units, covering a range of medical specialties including emergency care, cardiology, neurology, pediatrics, and surgery.
The hospital invested in modern equipment like a Siemens C-arm 3D Cios Spin for use during spine, nerve, and orthopedic surgeries, and a Navigation robot to assist in brain and nerve procedures. Its diagnostic imaging department features a 128-slice CT scanner capable of completing a scan in about 0.3 seconds, alongside a 1.5 Tesla MRI from Philips and digital X-ray systems.
The hospital’s hemodialysis unit uses HDF Online filtration machines and RO water processing systems meeting CE standards, while its laboratory utilizes automated testing lines for hematology, blood transfusions, biochemistry, and more. Hong Bang University Hospital plans to integrate artificial intelligence into its operations, starting with kiosks and smart general examination rooms to aid in patient reception, screening, diagnosis, and post-treatment monitoring.
The hospital will also serve as a clinical practice site for health science students at Hong Bang International University, and has been approved as a satellite hospital of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, collaborating with several other hospitals for specialized care. City officials announced they are developing new regulations to support private hospitals and encourage investment in healthcare technology.
