facilities and dedicated medical staff, it has earned positive feedback from
patients.

their health insurance-covered primary health care at the hospital over the
last three years. The institution has also had 1,339 medical services approved

The hospital's advanced equipment, including
digital X-ray machines, rehabilitation robots, and diagnostic tools, has
boosted its capabilities as well as reputation, enabling the hospital to serve
an average of 22,000 patients annually in the last three years, Hao noted.
Looking ahead, the Hoa Binh Traditional Medicine
Hospital aims to further improve treatment quality and establish itself as a
prestigious facility in traditional medicine.
Its development strategy focuses on integrating
traditional medicine with modern rehabilitation techniques. Plans include
expanding specialised rehabilitation services, adding new medical procedures,
and ensuring a stable supply of medicines and medical equipment for check-ups
and treatment.
