Vision of International Cooperation
In the era of globalization and internationalization, expanding international collaborations with reputable institutions and universities in the region and worldwide is an essential direction for all healthcare facilities in Vietnam. This holds particularly true for a pioneering teaching hospital like the University Medical Center. Enhancing international cooperation, primarily focused on professional exchange, technical transfer, and collaborative training, is of utmost importance and represents one of the hospital’s core functions.

The University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City has established strong partnerships with collaborators in South Korea, Taiwan (China), Thailand, Japan, France, Italy, the United States, and more.
The hospital consistently provides the best conditions for its staff, including not only physicians but also nurses, technicians, and others, to participate in specialized training abroad, enhancing their professional competence and management skills, as well as gradually integrating into the international community.
In addition to sending staff for training, the University Medical Center also promotes hosting foreign students for internships at the hospital. Since 2020, the Hospital has received 518 foreign students for internships in various specialties, including minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery, orthopedic trauma surgery, neurosurgery, emergency medicine, and other specialized fields.
