Robotic surgery expansion in Vietnam

Overview

The adoption of robotic surgery technology in Vietnam has expanded through both international trade and increased clinical application. Initially, China’s National Healthcare Security Administration approved domestically developed surgical robots for use in several Vietnamese hospitals. This expansion was facilitated by the China-ASEAN medical products trading platform, contributing to a significant rise in Chinese surgical robot exports to the region.

Following these technological integrations, Binh Dan Hospital in Vietnam reported a milestone of nearly 4,300 robotic surgeries performed. This increase in capability has fostered medical tourism, as international patients travel to the country for robotic cancer treatments—such as prostate, gynecological, and gastrointestinal cancers—due to costs being significantly lower than in the US or Singapore.
