Binh Dan Hospital reaches record with nearly 4,300 robotic surgeries

Binh Dan Hospital in Vietnam has reached a milestone by performing nearly 4,300 robotic surgeries. This development is contributing to a rise in medical tourism, as international patients seek robotic cancer treatments—including prostate, gynecological, and gastrointestinal cancers—at significantly lower costs than in the US or Singapore. These procedures utilize the US-made da Vinci Xi system, with costs starting at approximately 3,000 USD.

In broader healthcare developments, Ho Chi Minh City has reported that nearly 2 million residents have received free health check-ups. The municipal Department of Health noted a significant increase in the pace of these examinations, rising from an average of 30,000 to 40,000 people per week to between 300,000 and 400,000 people per week in recent weeks.
