Vinmec Healthcare System today officially launched its nationwide network of High-Tech Robotic Surgery Centers, establishing Vietnam's first integrated robotic surgery ecosystem. The network connects multiple specialties, hospitals, and global technology partners, aiming to expand access to cutting-edge surgical care for patients nationwide.
The defining feature is a multi-connected robotic surgery ecosystem, with Vinmec Times City International Hospital serving as the clinical coordination hub, linking centers at Vinmec Smart City, Vinmec Da Nang, Vinmec Central Park, Vinmec Can Tho, and other hospitals. For general surgery, Vinmec operates three leading robotic platforms: Da Vinci Xi at Vinmec Times City, Hugo RAS at Vinmec Da Nang and Vinmec Central Park, and Toumai MT-1000 at Vinmec Smart City and Vinmec Can Tho. Notably, the Toumai MT-1000 enables 5G-enabled remote robotic surgery, laying the foundation for connected healthcare delivery.
In orthopedics, Vinmec has deployed next-generation joint replacement robots, including ROSA at Vinmec Smart City, MISSO at Vinmec Times City and Vinmec Can Tho, and CORI across multiple locations. These technologies enable personalized surgical planning with millimeter-level precision. For neurosurgery and spine surgery, Vinmec integrated the StealthStation S8, Mazor X Stealth Edition, and O-arm with StealthStation O2 at Vinmec Smart City and Vinmec Da Nang, providing real-time navigation and intraoperative imaging.
Vinmec also developed a "3-in-1" robotic surgery model built on Personalization, Automation, and Standardization. Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan through preoperative 3D reconstruction and surgical simulation, AI-enabled robotic assistance during surgery, and treatment according to internationally recognized standards. To operate the ecosystem, Vinmec has developed a multidisciplinary team of specialists with rigorous training and international certification.
Alongside the network launch, Vinmec announced the Robotic Surgery Patient Support Fund, backed by nearly VND 300 billion from Vingroup, to reduce financial barriers and expand access to advanced robotic surgery, particularly for those facing financial hardship.
At the event, Prof. Tran Van Thuan, MD, PhD, Deputy Minister of Health, praised Vinmec's vision of building a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing clinical care, medical education, scientific research, technology transfer, and international collaboration. Prof. Tran Trung Dung, CEO of Vinmec Healthcare System, stated: "Our goal is to provide patients in Vietnam with access to the most advanced surgical innovations while progressively positioning Vietnam as a regional destination for high-tech healthcare and precision surgery."
According to Assoc. Prof. Pham Van Binh, Director of the Vinmec High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network, the centers aim to establish an academic institution for robotic surgery that integrates clinical practice, academic training, scientific research, and technology transfer. The launch represents a significant milestone in accelerating Vietnam's transition toward precision, personalized, and technology-driven surgery, laying the foundation for Vietnam to emerge as a new regional hub for robotic surgery in Southeast Asia.
