HCM City-based Bernard Healthcare has been providing Ningen Dock, the comprehensive and specialised health checkup model, in collaboration with Japan’s University of Yamanashi Hospital since 2021.
The model is popular in Japan and many other countries.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a group of conditions that include illnesses such as cancer, lipid disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, mental health disorders, and others.
Of these, cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks, strokes, peripheral artery disease, and hypertension are the most common.
These are chronic conditions that are not contagious, primarily arising from lifestyle risk factors such as unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption.
Ningen Dock is designed to detect disease risks, particularly NCDs, at early stages - often before symptoms appear.
With professional support and quality control from the University of Yamanashi Hospital, a leading public hospital renowned for its expertise in imaging diagnostics and cancer treatment, Ningen Dock at Bernard Healthcare goes beyond basic health assessments. It includes advanced methods such as endoscopy and modern imaging diagnostics (MRI, CT scan, and ultrasound).
High levels of satisfaction
One key factor behind the success of the Ningen Dock model at Bernard Healthcare is the high level of client satisfaction.
In 2023 the satisfaction rate reached an impressive 85 per cent, marking a 20 percentage point increase from the previous year.
Clients have said they perceive a significant difference between the Ningen Dock and traditional health check methods.
This distinction is largely due to the comprehensive and specialised nature of the Ningen Dock model.
Bernard Healthcare is also committed to uncompromisingly improving quality by investing in state-of-the-art equipment, adhering to international screening standards and maintaining a highly experienced medical team.
Bernard Healthcare has established a close partnership with the University of Yamanashi Hospital for quality control and cross-reading of MRI and CT scan results, ensuring that every patient's diagnostic images are thoroughly reviewed.
This cross-reading system enhances the reliability of results, allowing for early detection and timely management of complex cases.
Moreover, when health abnormalities are detected through Ningen Dock, Bernard Healthcare facilitates connections with experts both domestically and in Japan to develop optimal treatment plans.
Patients are assisted with getting treatment at top-tier hospitals in Vietnam or, when necessary, healthcare facilities and hospitals in Japan.
On September 7, Bernard Healthcare had the honour of being the sole representative from Việt Nam to be present at the 65th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Ningen Dock and Preventive Medical Care held in Japan.
A presentation titled “Transforming Health Paradigms: Ningen Dock's Inauguration and Impact in Việt Nam” at the event highlighted Bernard Healthcare's efforts in successfully implementing the comprehensive and specialised Ningen Dock health checkup model, an esteemed 70-year legacy from Japan, in Việt Nam and achieving notable results.
