A total of 1,238 hospitals across Vietnam have begun applying artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies in healthcare services, laying a groundwork for the development of smart hospitals nationwide.
The milestone was highlighted at the seminar titled “Digital Health Transformation and Smart Hospital Development: International Experience and Implementation in Vietnam,” organized by the Vietnam Medical Informatics Association on June 18.
Speaking at the event, Associate Professor Dr. Tran Quy Tuong, President of the Vietnam Medical Informatics Association, said digital transformation is being accelerated throughout the country’s healthcare system.
According to Mr. Tuong, 1,238 hospitals have started researching and implementing AI-powered solutions and digital technologies in medical examination and treatment, hospital management, and clinical decision support. These applications are helping healthcare providers improve operational efficiency, enhance service quality, and streamline administrative processes.
The adoption of AI and digital tools is also expected to reduce workloads for healthcare professionals while improving patient experiences through faster, more accurate, and more personalized care.
Experts at the seminar noted that the growing use of advanced technologies represents a critical step toward establishing a nationwide network of smart hospitals. Such facilities are expected to integrate digital records, intelligent diagnostics, automated workflows, and data-driven management systems to deliver more efficient and sustainable healthcare services.
