Vietnam advances digital transformation in healthcare and technology

Vietnam is advancing digital transformation across various sectors, with a significant focus on healthcare and regional technological innovation.

In the healthcare sector, hospitals are implementing electronic medical records and smart medical kiosks to improve patient experiences. In some regions, the use of smart kiosks and integrated data has reduced patient examination times from four hours to between one and two hours. The Ministry of Health is also working to link laboratory and clinical service results between health insurance facilities to allow doctors to reuse valid test results.

Son La General Hospital is prioritizing digital transformation and professional technical development to meet patient needs despite challenges in human resources and infrastructure. Meanwhile, in Dong Nai, authorities are focusing on bridging the gap between policy and practical application in science, technology, and innovation to better leverage the province's large industrial and FDI-driven economy.
