With consultancy from JHI, AIH's centers of excellence will improve its ability to provide comprehensive support in diagnosis and treatment.
The Hernia Center, the first one in Viet Nam built in collaboration with JHI, is expected to be opened in August, setting the path for similar centers of excellence in obstetrics, pediatrics and other areas. The center will help patients with pain control and faster recovery after surgery via a team of caregivers from general surgery, anesthesiology, rehabilitation and nutrition.
