  Vietnamese Medical: Low starting point, large development space

  Vietnam has a population of more than 90 million. As the economy continues to soar, the living standards of Vietnamese people continue to improve, people pay more and more attention to health, and the demands of the public for medical care are increasing. However, the development of Vietnam ’s own medical industry is not Comprehensive, so many Vietnamese will choose to go to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore to see a doctor.

  But in the past few years, the medical industry in Vietnam has actually improved significantly. Not only has almost 90% of the people already obtained medical insurance, but the disease pattern in Vietnam is also changing. The main health problems have already changed. Transition from primary maternal and child health and infectious diseases to chronic non-communicable diseases. In 2015, the Vinmec International Hospital in Hanoi also became the first general hospital in Vietnam to be accredited by the International Joint Commission (JCI). This not only means that Vietnam’s living conditions and health concept are gradually improving, but also means that Vietnam’s medical standards have improved.

  But on the road to transformation, there are often new challenges and many inevitable problems. For example, Vietnam ’s domestic medical conditions are still limited and medical equipment is not advanced enough. Even in Vietnam ’s best public hospitals, it ’s overcrowded. It is also a huge problem, not to mention the serious shortage of medical staff in mountainous and remote areas.

  According to the report of MONK’S HILL,The district has less than 1 doctor per 1,000 people. In addition to placing tremendous pressure on health care workers, this also means that beds are often inadequate and that some patients previously had to share beds. So although Vietnam ’s public health care industry is improving, there is a lot of room for development in many areas due to the low starting point.

  Medical applications for the first experience on the Internet

  With the support of the government, the scale of Vietnam’s medical market is constantly expanding, and its medical system has undergone tremendous changes. Therefore, with the improvement of medical literacy and the enhancement of digital innovation capabilities, Vietnamese consumers are becoming more and more interested in health applications.

  GlobeDr, Vietnam’s first healthcare social networking site, connects patients with care providers and provides patients with tools to manage their personal health records. In Vietnam, where medical literacy is gradually improved, the emergence of such digital applications may bring some inspiration to the people.

  Digital personal health records can gradually cultivate the public’s awareness of health, from children’s development milestones, vaccination schedules and records, to adult blood pressure and blood glucose indicators. Opportunities to develop good habits and create a healthy living environment. In addition, in the face of a shortage of qualified medical staff in Vietnam, the application can be used to make online appointment consultations to connect patients and medical staff, and also save some trouble of queuing.

  At the same time, although the Vietnamese government has implemented reforms to improve access to health care for the poor, the country still faces the problem of unequal information caused by the wealth gap. To this end, GlobeDr also provides articles on health knowledge. It is extremely important for ordinary families who lack medical knowledge.

  “Smart” medical care depends on the efforts of the entire people

  From the perspective of the market and users, with the support of the government and many people who cannot be fully satisfied, the development of the Vietnamese medical industry will definitely be strong. On February 11 this year, the Ministry of Health of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam officially opened the first smart medical center in Vietnam. At present, the first “Smart Medical Center” in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam contains 12 parts of basic content: each subordinate hospital, management Data collection system for departments and clinics; intelligent meeting management software; work schedule management software; integrated system of media and social platforms; and medical emergency hotline; monitoring center; telemedicine and so on.

  This means that after the establishment of people’s medical awareness, with the advancement of science, the future development of medical treatment in Vietnam will all point to a more modern and digital medical system. However, at present, the medical industry in Vietnam has not yet formed a unified market operation mechanism and market system. Not only is it highly malleable, it also has a lot of gameplay, and multiple modes are allowed to play.

  For example, “Internet + Medical” telemedicine services, using digitalTools to support doctors in virtual care, while also establishing a more comprehensive medical network, connecting more resources together, helping to improve imbalanced medical conditions and accelerating medical treatment in the context of limited resources Development of health care. There is also a “big data + wearable medical device” model to monitor the wearer’s physical parameters, monitor health-related data, detect physical abnormalities early, investigate and intervene appropriately in real time, and promote the development of a healthy lifestyle.

  But as we continue to develop models, modern medical care will also require a lot of investment, and this vision cannot be achieved without funds. The same government also needs to encourage people to invest and start businesses, and use innovative business models and correct technology. Together, Vietnam’s medical market has become more active.

  Therefore, both healthcare professionals and the government in Vietnam must take health improvement as a common goal in order to usher in another spring of Vietnamese medical care.
