Medtronic Vietnam and Viet Duc University Hospital renew commitment to medical training

Medtronic Vietnam and Viet Duc University Hospital (VDUH) have signed their sixth MoU

This latest agreement builds on a long-standing partnership between Medtronic, a global leader in healthcare technology, and VDUH, Vietnam's largest surgical centre, outlining 11 comprehensive training and education programmes encompassing cardiovascular, neuroscience, and minimally invasive medical surgery.

Through its strategic partnership with VDUH, Medtronic Vietnam is advancing access to innovative therapies and supporting the development of Vietnam's clinical expertise. As part of this collaboration, Medtronic continues to deliver comprehensive Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses to help accelerate the learning curve for surgeons, enabling more efficient adoption of advanced procedures and improving patient outcomes.

Highlights include multi-therapy programmes such as neurovascular care, transcatheter aortic valve implantation, and robot-assisted surgery, reinforcing Medtronic's leadership in healthcare innovation and its commitment to advancing surgical excellence.

These new initiatives build on the strong foundation of previous collaborations at VDUH, where Medtronic has introduced specialised training in minimally invasive spine surgery and haemorrhagic stroke management. Together with VDUH, Medtronic also co-developed advanced workshops in lung transplantation and thoracic aortic procedures, among the most complex specialities practiced at VDUH. This track record sets the stage for wider training opportunities and knowledge sharing with HCPs national.

Beyond clinical training, Medtronic also partners with VDUH on community initiatives such as improving deformity management for patients. Together, these efforts strengthen national capabilities in critical areas of care and mark important milestones in Vietnam's healthcare landscape.
