Vinmec Healthcare System is expanding its medical services portfolio to better serve international patients through medical tourism, positioning Vietnam as an emerging destination for safe and accessible high-acuity care.
The care journey spans specialised treatment to complex procedures across cardiology, orthopedics, oncology, stem cell therapy and liver transplantation, all delivered under international standards. This capability was solidified recently inside a Vinmec Healthcare System operating room, where surgeons performed a medical miracle: a liver transplant for an infant weighing just 5.3 kilograms.
The institute has established two centres accredited by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) for both Heart Failure and Cath-lab interventions. Complex procedures such as TAVI are supported by 3.0-Tesla MRI and high-slice CT imaging, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment.
A similar emphasis on precision shapes Vinmec’s orthopedic services, where advanced 3D surgical planning and patient-specific implants are used to improve outcomes and shorten recovery. Joint replacement and the proprietary “Anatomic mapping” technique are paired with integrated rehabilitation, allowing patients to return to daily life with greater confidence and mobility.
In oncology, clinical rigor is reinforced through multidisciplinary tumor boards that follow NCCN, ESMO and ASTRO guidelines. Advanced technologies, including CAR-T therapy; and AABB-accredited biobanking, support complex treatment decisions.
Complementing this innovation is the Stem Cell Therapy centre, which pioneers biomedical research and high-tech applications. This depth of expertise extends to liver transplantation, where Vinmec has demonstrated its ability to manage high-complexity procedures, including rare pediatric cases.
