MED-TECH | Vinmec launches Vietnam’s robotic surgery network
Unlike standalone robotic surgery installations, the network integrates several robotic surgical systems for general, orthopedic, neurosurgical and spine procedures.
Vietnam has launched its first integrated nationwide robotic surgery network, expanding access to advanced surgical technologies through a connected ecosystem linking hospitals, specialists and multiple robotic platforms.
The Vinmec Healthcare System on June 27 announced the launch of its High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network, which connects robotic surgery centers across its hospitals in Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho and other locations through a centralized operating model.
Unlike standalone robotic surgery installations, the network integrates several robotic surgical systems for general, orthopedic, neurosurgical and spine procedures. Vinmec Times City International Hospital serves as the clinical coordination hub for the network.
For general surgery, the network includes Da Vinci Xi, Hugo RAS and Toumai MT-1000 robotic systems deployed across different hospitals. Vinmec said the Toumai platform also supports future 5G-enabled remote robotic surgery.
The healthcare system has also installed robotic-assisted platforms for orthopedic joint replacement, including ROSA, MISSO and CORI systems, as well as navigation and imaging technologies such as StealthStation S8, Mazor X Stealth Edition and the O-arm with StealthStation O2 for neurosurgery and spine procedures.
Vinmec said the network adopts a treatment model centered on personalized surgical planning, AI-assisted robotic procedures and standardized clinical protocols. Patients undergo preoperative 3D reconstruction and surgical simulation before surgery.
To support the program, the healthcare provider said it has trained multidisciplinary surgical teams through international robotic surgery certification programs.
Alongside the launch, Vinmec announced the creation of a Robotic Surgery Patient Support Fund backed by nearly P680 million (VND 300 billion) from Vingroup. The fund aims to help reduce treatment costs for financially disadvantaged patients requiring robotic surgery.
Prof. Tran Van Thuan, deputy minister of health, said the initiative combines clinical care, medical education, scientific research, technology transfer and international collaboration while helping broaden patient access to advanced surgical technologies.
“Our High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network is built on a model of multidimensional connectivity connecting experts, hospitals and the world’s leading technology partners within a single integrated ecosystem,” said Prof. Tran Trung Dung, chief executive officer of Vinmec Healthcare System.
He added that the initiative aims to expand access to advanced surgical innovations in Vietnam while strengthening the country’s position as a regional destination for precision medicine and high-tech healthcare.
Vinmec said the network will also serve as a platform for clinical practice, surgeon training, scientific research and technology transfer as Vietnam expands its adoption of robotic-assisted surgery.
