Vietnam’s first international hospital celebrates 20th anniversary
FV Hospital – the first international one in Vietnam - has been urged to continue providing high-quality medical services for not only local patients but also foreigners who are living and working in Ho Chi Minh City, said Luong Ngoc Khue, Director of the Medical Examination and Treatment Department at the celebration of 20th anniversary of the hospital on April 9.
For the last 20 years, the hospital has treated nearly 5 million patients, 25% of them foreigners. It has been accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI) three times.
Currently, the hospital has 230 beds, and 36 specialties with the capacity of receiving 1,500 patients daily. In 2006, it established a charity fund and invited many of the world's leading surgeons to Vietnam to treat more than 600 disadvantaged children with birth defects.
