RoK companies to provide Vietnamese language-based medical information sharing platform
KT, the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s largest telecom company, will work with Dong-A ST, a Korean pharmaceutical company, to develop a Vietnamese language-based medical information platform, KT announced on June 14.
Accordingly, Dong-A ST will create a new medical education content so that Vietnamese medical workers can learn about the RoK’s medical technology.
Dong-A ST is currently operating a platform called "Mediflix," which provides various types of content such as medical know-how, patient experience, and latest trends in treating diseases. Users can also watch lecture videos through its online live transmission service.

Through the new platform set to be released in July, Vietnamese users can watch replays of offline seminars, attend online lectures, and receive advice from instructors. KT is also considering hosting joint seminars with Vietnamese hospitals using the platform.
The telecom company has formed an advisory group consisting of medical staff from five Korean hospitals. The group will come up with curriculums and participate in producing lectures and distributing content.
At the 2023 Korea - Vietnam Medical AI and DX Cooperation Forum held in Hanoi on June 9, KT introduced this medical education platform to attract the attention of Vietnamese medical staff.
In April 2022, this company signed an agreement with a medical school in Hanoi to carry out the proof of concept (PoC) demonstration of a remote medical service platform for patients with chronic diseases. The company is also working with HurayPositive, a Korean digital healthcare company, to cooperate in the telemedicine business in Vietnam. Through telemedicine services, doctors can provide healthcare for patients living in remote areas.
