By harmoniously combining traditional medicine with modern medical practices, the Hoa Binh Traditional Medicine Hospital is strengthening its role in the province’s healthcare system.
Staff at the provincial Traditional
Medicine Hospital provide dedicated treatment for patients.
Every year, from the early morning, the hospital
sees a steady flow of patients seeking consultations and treatment. With proper
facilities and dedicated medical staff, it has earned positive feedback from
patients.

Hoa Binh city, said it was her first time receiving treatment at the hospital.
She expressed satisfaction with the modern facilities and attentive staff.
As a specialised hospital under the provincial
Department of Health, the Hoa Binh Traditional Medicine Hospital provides
medical care by integrating traditional and modern treatment methods. It
employs 71 staff members, including 20 doctors, 23 nurses, eight pharmacists,
and seven medical technicians. The hospital operates five departments, offering
100 inpatient beds.
Doctor Sam Huu Hao, the hospital's director,
said patient demand has been on the rise, with over 12,000 people registering
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
to serve locals.
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.
This year, the hospital is also set to complete
a plan on offering inpatient services and specialised treatment packages on
demand.
