Addressing the opening session, Associate Professor, Dr Tang Chi Thuong, Director of the Department of Health of HCM City, highlighted that as a leading hospital in terms of surgery of the city and neighbouring provinces, Binh Dan Hospital has applied many advances in treatment relating to surgery.
The conference showed that the development orientation of the institute-school model is becoming more popular with the presence of many professors and surgeons from many medical universities around the world, he said, adding that this is a model that other hospitals can replicate to promote professional capacity development in clinical activities and specialised training in surgery.
