Asian–Pacific Parkinson and Movement Disorders Conference: The imprint of BV ĐHYD Ho Chi Minh City

Recently, the team of doctors from Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital (BV ĐHYD) attended the Asian–Pacific Parkinson and Movement Disorders Conference (AOPMC 2025) in Tokyo, Japan. This is a major event gathering over 800 neurologists from 33 countries, aimed at sharing research achievements and the latest treatment updates for Parkinson's disease and movement disorders.

BV ĐHYD proudly has 8 submissions, of which 4 were highly rated and received funding (Travel Grant)

Among the 465 scientific reports submitted to the conference, BV ĐHYD proudly had 8 entries, of which 4 were highly rated and received funding (Travel Grant), recognizing the outstanding contributions and research capabilities of the young doctors at the Hospital.

In particular, two reports by Associate Professor Dr. Võ Ngọc Chung Khang – Neurology Department received high appraisal from the international expert panel. The reports not only focus on deep expertise, but also reflect the spirit of "going to the utmost for patients", pursuing complex and rare diagnoses to the end.

Sharing after the conference, Associate Professor Dr. Võ Ngọc Chung Khang emphasized: "Cases that seem small, like an unsteady step, are actually the starting point for the journey of discovery and searching for the truly deep underlying pathological causes. As doctors, we must not miss any small sign from patients."

In addition, the research of Associate Professor Đặng Thị Huyền Thương – Neurology department on olfactory disorders in Parkinson's patients has also attracted much interest from colleagues. Dr. Thương shared “The Vietnamese odor test kit was created by a research team led by Professor Dr. Trần Ngọc Tài, with the hope that in the near future this odor test kit will be widely used to support the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in Vietnam”.

The large event, organized by more than 800 neuroscience experts from 33 countries, aims to share the most cutting‑edge research findings and the latest treatments for Parkinson's disease and movement disorders

Prof. Dr. Trần Ngọc Tài – Deputy Head of Neurology Department; Head of the Movement Disorders Unit, BV ĐHYD said: "The participation of BV ĐHYD's young doctors and their presentations on typical cases at this international conference is a clear illustration of the specialized development direction the department is pursuing. Particularly, in the field of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders, BV ĐHYD is regarded as one of the leading institutions nationwide in training, research, and treatment. The AOPMC 2025 conference once again affirms the hospital's standing and accessibility on par with countries in the region. Currently, the Neurology Department is building a specialized training and research environment, aiming to become an outstanding center in the field of neurology. This is not only a place to enhance the professional expertise of the hospital's young physicians but also a high-quality training environment for doctors across the country."

The achievements attained at AOPMC 2025 are not only a source of pride for the participating physicians, but also a strong motivation for the entire University of Medicine and Pharmacy Ho Chi Minh City Hospital in general and the Movement Disorders Unit in particular to continue the path of improving treatment quality, accelerating scientific research, and strengthening international integration.
