Thanh Hai General Clinic Elevating Private Healthcare and Supporting Community Well-Being

In Dien Bien Province’s healthcare system, alongside public hospitals, private medical facilities are playing an increasingly vital role in reducing pressure on public institutions, improving access to quality healthcare, and supporting early disease detection and timely treatment. Among them, Thanh Hai General Clinic, located at 59A, Group 15, Muong Thanh Ward, stands out as a leading example.

Determination and self-reliance

Thanh Hai General Clinic began operations in 2006, at a time when private healthcare in Dien Bien was still modest. Guided by a long-term vision of professional development and community service, the clinic was officially incorporated in December 2015 and, just a few months later in April 2016, signed a health insurance service contract with government authorities. This milestone marked the clinic’s integration into the community healthcare network and helped reduce the patient load at public hospitals.

What makes Thanh Hai’s story distinctive is that all its capital investment has been entirely self-financed, without any external funding. This spirit of self-reliance and long-term vision has enabled the clinic not only to sustain operations but also to build a solid reputation among patients throughout the province.

Over nearly two decades of growth, Thanh Hai General Clinic has made significant contributions to local public health. From its beginnings as a small private facility, it has evolved into a trusted medical provider serving thousands of patients each month.

Advancing quality and professionalism

One of Thanh Hai General Clinic’s key strengths lies in its highly qualified team of medical professionals. The clinic currently employs more than 90 doctors and healthcare staff, many of whom previously worked as Level I and Level II specialists or as department heads and deputy heads at Dien Bien Provincial General Hospital. Their extensive experience and clinical expertise have greatly improved the clinic’s capacity for early and accurate diagnosis.

Each day, the clinic receives between 200 and more than 300 patients covered by Vietnam’s Health Insurance program, most of whom are local residents. In addition to treating common illnesses, the clinic regularly identifies complex cases and refers them to major hospitals in Hanoi, Thai Nguyen, and other provinces. This timely referral process shortens the path to diagnosis and treatment, enhances recovery rates, and helps patients reduce medical costs.

To support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, Thanh Hai General Clinic has invested heavily in modern, synchronized medical equipment. Notably, it operates a Siemens MRI scanner and CT imaging system from Germany, technologies typically found in large hospitals. The clinic also features tissue-elasticity ultrasound, 4D color ultrasound, digital X-ray systems with high-resolution printing, and automated biochemistry, hematology, and immunology analyzers. These investments not only ensure diagnostic precision but also shorten waiting times and improve patient comfort.

The clinic also places strong emphasis on continuous professional training. All doctors and healthcare staff are encouraged to enhance their skills and stay updated on the latest clinical guidelines from the Ministry of Health and international medical associations. This ongoing education has steadily improved the quality of care and strengthened patient confidence.

Additionally, Thanh Hai General Clinic has benefited from supportive government policies for private healthcare, allowing it to operate stably and transparently within the legal framework.

By combining clinical expertise, modern equipment, professional service, and community commitment, Thanh Hai General Clinic has built a trusted and enduring brand in private healthcare, continuing to accompany the people of Dien Bien in protecting and improving their health.
