VinUni, Vinmec, and Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Sign MOU to Strengthen Medical Education and Healthcare Collaboration

On September 19, 2024, a significant milestone was achieved in Vietnam’s medical education and healthcare sector when VinUniversity, the Vinmec Healthcare System, and Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy (UMP) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This strategic partnership seeks to enhance medical education, training, and healthcare services across Vietnam, with a special focus on the Mekong Delta region, which has been historically underserved in terms of advanced healthcare infrastructure.

The collaboration between these three leading institutions is built upon the shared vision of improving the quality of healthcare professionals, advancing medical research, and enhancing clinical training opportunities in Vietnam. By combining the strengths of each institution, the partnership aims to make a lasting impact on the development of innovative medical solutions and the training of high-quality healthcare professionals equipped with the skills needed to address Vietnam’s evolving healthcare needs.

VinUniversity, recognized for its commitment to world-class education, is focused on fostering excellence in medical training by adopting internationally recognized standards such as the ACGME-I (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education International), ensuring that graduates are equipped with the knowledge and clinical skills required in a globalized healthcare environment. VinUni’s state-of-the-art facilities, highly qualified faculty, and international partnerships position it as a leading institution in healthcare education in Vietnam. Through this partnership, VinUniversity will play a crucial role in raising the standard of medical education and research.

Vinmec Healthcare System, the nation’s top private healthcare provider, brings cutting-edge medical technologies, a highly qualified team of healthcare professionals, and extensive experience in clinical practice. Vinmec has been recognized for its modern approach to healthcare, focusing on evidence-based practices and patient-centered care. Its hospitals and clinics across Vietnam will serve as key training grounds for medical students and healthcare professionals, offering a real-world environment for hands-on clinical training. Through this partnership, Vinmec will expand its efforts to share its expertise and enhance clinical education and healthcare service delivery, especially in underdeveloped regions.

Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy (UMP), located in the heart of the Mekong Delta, has long been committed to addressing the healthcare needs of the region. With the signing of this MOU, UMP aims to build upon its strong foundations by partnering with VinUniversity and Vinmec to broaden opportunities for its students and faculty. UMP will benefit from enhanced academic exchanges, joint research opportunities, and shared access to clinical training programs, giving its students and faculty exposure to best practices and the latest advancements in medical education and patient care.

The partnership is particularly focused on the Mekong Delta, a region that has faced many healthcare challenges, including limited access to advanced healthcare services and a shortage of highly trained professionals. By creating more opportunities for academic and clinical exchanges in this region, the collaboration aims to address these gaps and uplift the quality of healthcare services.

In summary, this MOU represents a critical step forward in advancing healthcare education, clinical training, and medical research in Vietnam. Through this partnership, VinUniversity, Vinmec, and Can Tho UMP aim to cultivate a new generation of healthcare professionals and implement innovative solutions that will benefit both the Mekong Delta region and Vietnam as a whole.
