American International Hospital has signed a medical collaboration agreement with Raffles Hospital Singapore to enhance the quality and range of patient care and treatment, opening opportunities for patients to access advanced medical treatments with Singaporean quality standards right here in Việt Nam.
Under the agreement, the AIH Orthopedic Center and AIH Oncology Center will be launched to screen, diagnose, and treat patients at international standards, with close collaboration between AIH Hospital’s highly experienced medical team and top specialists from Raffles Hospital Singapore.
Orthopedic patients will have access to enhanced surgical techniques including joint replacements and spinal surgeries at AIH Orthopedic Centre and at Raffles Hospital Singapore.
Oncology patients will also have access to remote second opinions for radiology and anatomical pathology as well as to cutting medical edge care in Singapore including robotic surgeries, proton therapy and participation in clinical trials where suitable.
The two parties will also further develop clinical education through clinical exchanges and the hosting of joint medical/healthcare seminars/webinars.
In addition, AIH will also align its clinical governance and hospital protocols and policies with Raffles Hospital Singapore.
Nguyễn Thị Mỹ Linh, CEO of American International Hospital, said: “AIH Hospital aims to break down barriers and geographical boundaries in healthcare, optimising the benefits and providing a seamless healthcare experience for patients. Through a comprehensive partnership with Raffles Hospital Singapore, AIH Hospital brings international standard medical services closer and more accessible to the people, thereby contributing to enhancing healthcare services and improving the quality of the healthcare system in Việt Nam.”
The agreement between the two offers numerous practical benefits for patients, especially as Vietnamese people spend approximately US$2 billion annually on overseas medical treatments, seeking better treatment opportunities in countries with advanced medical standards. Among these, Singapore is one of the most chosen destinations. — VNS
