Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital Reinforcing Credibility, Advancing Innovation for Community Health

Located at No. 1 No Trang Long Street, Gia Dinh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital is among the city’s longest-established and most respected medical institutions. Constructed by the French in the early 20th century, the hospital has gone through several historical phases under names including Hospital de Gia Dinh, Nguyen Van Hoc, and the Medical Practice Center, before officially adopting the name Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital in 1975, which it has retained to this day.

Advancing innovation and high-tech treatment

As of Jan 15, 2026, Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital operates as a Grade I general hospital and a tertiary referral facility, classified at an advanced professional and technical level, with a capacity of 1,500 beds and an ongoing project to develop a modern 15-story treatment building. Each day, the hospital handles more than 4,500 outpatient visits and provides care for around 1,000 inpatients, while also serving as a clinical training and education center for over 2,000 students and postgraduate trainees annually.

To meet the demands of advanced medical development, the hospital established three new departments on April 25, 2024: Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Cardiovascular Intensive Care, and Musculoskeletal Medicine. On October 10, 2025, the Oncology Department officially began operations, marking an important advance in cancer treatment. The addition of these four departments has increased the hospital’s total to 51 units, including 34 clinical departments, expanding access to specialized care and strengthening the quality of medical workforce training.

Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital has consistently ranked among the leading institutions in applying modern medical techniques in Ho Chi Minh City. With a comprehensive system of specialized departments, the hospital functions as an effective treatment center for complex conditions, particularly in intensive care and emergency medicine.

The hospital is among the few institutions in Vietnam to hold GOLD PLUS certification from the American Heart Association for heart failure treatment and Platinum certification from the World Stroke Organization. Its Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit has successfully performed advanced procedures such as ECMO, E-CPR, pacemaker implantation, coronary interventions, IVUS, and OCT, contributing to the survival of many critically ill patients.

The Non-Cardiac Interventional Unit is regarded as a core strength of the hospital, with expertise in most modern endovascular techniques, including TACE for liver cancer, BRTO for portal hypertension, visceral artery embolization for trauma-related bleeding, and below-the-knee interventions for diabetic foot disease. Notably, it is one of the few units performing DSA-guided interventions to treat cutaneous vascular malformations using alcohol injection for both children and adults, creating opportunities to improve appearance and quality of life for many patients.

Fostering research, cooperation, and human-centric care

Alongside clinical services, Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital maintains a strong focus on scientific research, carrying out projects at the institutional and city levels as well as ministerial-level clinical trials. Research outcomes have been effectively applied in clinical practice and published in reputable domestic and international medical journals.

The hospital continues to broaden cooperation with medical institutions, universities, and international organizations, including partnerships with Severance University in South Korea and the pharmaceutical group Sanofi, along with other partners, strengthening its academic standing and professional capacity.

Beyond medical treatment, the hospital gives close attention to the spiritual and material well-being of patients, particularly those from low-income and vulnerable groups. Many meaningful programs are maintained on a regular basis, including “Spring of Compassion,” gift-giving for elderly patients and hospitalized children, and free hair washing and haircuts for patients, reflecting the humanitarian spirit of medical professionals.

The hospital has implemented comprehensive health check-up packages for enterprises in accordance with Circular 32/2023/TT-BYT, which replaced Circular 14/2013/TT-BYT, fully meeting regulations on annual periodic health examinations for employees. These packages are scientifically designed and flexible, covering comprehensive clinical examinations in General Medicine, Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology, Odonto-Stomatology, Dermatology, and Gynecology/Andrology; basic laboratory tests of blood and urine; and diagnostic imaging such as chest X-ray and ultrasound. The hospital provides both Basic and Advanced packages, allowing enterprises to tailor examination content to job characteristics, working environments, and employee healthcare needs, while complying with Ministry of Health regulations.

In addition to general health check-up packages, the hospital also offers several specialized examination programs, notably:

Early Cancer Screening Packages: Combining clinical examinations, general laboratory tests, tumor marker tests, and modern diagnostic imaging methods such as X-ray, ultrasound, low-dose lung CT, and endoscopy, supporting early detection of common cancers and contributing to improved treatment effectiveness and longer survival.

Weight Loss and Obesity Health Check Packages: Designed for overweight and obese individuals (BMI ≥ 23 kg/m²), including multidisciplinary consultations, screening tests for related conditions, necessary diagnostic imaging, and personalized nutrition plans, supporting safe, scientific, and sustainable weight loss.

With reasonable costs, streamlined examination procedures, an experienced team of physicians, and a modern equipment system, the health check-up packages at Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital help enterprises and residents proactively prevent disease, improve health, and enhance quality of life.

Brand strength and sustainable development

For many consecutive years, Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital has ranked among the Top 10 hospitals with the highest quality assessment scores in Ho Chi Minh City. The hospital has received several prestigious honors, including Emulation Flags from the Ministry of Health and the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, as well as the Labor Order Third Class (2011), Second Class (2016), and First Class (2024).

In the current phase, the hospital continues to strengthen its role as a key tertiary medical facility of the city, advancing digital transformation through electronic medical records, smart examination processes, cashless payments, and the application of AI in professional support, pursuing sustainable development with patient-centered care.

With nearly 110 years of development, the hospital has continued to expand its capabilities, becoming a trusted destination for medical examination and treatment for residents of Ho Chi Minh City and the southern region.
