Major General Vu Nhat Dinh, MMU Deputy Director, presided over the ceremony.
During the six-month course, the Lao medical personnel received training at the Military Institute of Clinical Embryology under the university in clinical medicine, laboratory (LAB) techniques, and nursing. The program combined theoretical instruction with practical training, focusing on the knowledge and skills required to examine and treat infertility and perform in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Upon completion, all trainees acquired a basic understanding of professional procedures in their respective fields, covering clinical practice, laboratory techniques, and nursing care for assisted reproduction. The nursing team was also capable of independently performing tasks supporting IVF procedures. These results will help strengthen the hospital's professional capabilities and lay the groundwork for Central Hospital 103 to gradually master and implement assisted reproductive technologies.
In his closing remarks, Major General Vu Nhat Dinh emphasized that international cooperation, particularly with the Lao People's Army, has always been an important mission for the MMU, reflecting the responsibility, solidarity, and close ties between the two countries' military medical services.
In recent years, the university has actively supported Central Hospital 103 in personnel training and the development of advanced medical techniques. Notably, its kidney transplant cooperation program involved 14 teams of experts providing assistance, contributing to the successful completion of 35 kidney transplants. The latest training course expands this cooperation into assisted reproductive medicine, helping meet the healthcare needs of the Lao people.
Major General Vu Nhat Dinh stressed that the significance of cooperation extends beyond transferring knowledge and technology to sharing experience and developing personnel capable of mastering specialized medical procedures, ensuring that scientific advances directly benefit patients. The MMU will continue its support by sending experts to provide guidance, assist with technology transfer, and coordinate the implementation of the first IVF procedures in Laos.
