Military Hospital 121 was established through the merger of Hospital 320, Hospital C50, Surgical Team F42, and Surgical Team F48 in Ca Mau province. In its early days, there were only a few doctors with very basic equipment, primarily treating wounded and sick soldiers.

Over the years, Military Hospital 121 has developed, with a specialized team of doctors gaining access to new treatment techniques, modern medical equipment, meeting the requirements of healthcare for officers, soldiers, and people in the Mekong Delta region. It is truly to be the leading hospital of Military Region 9.
