Collaborating with Hong Ngoc Hospital and other major hospitals in Vietnam is a crucial part of our global mission. We believe that combining international expertise, technology, and resources with the dedication and talent of Vietnamese medical professionals will bring about positive, lasting changes in healthcare,” she shared.

Ms. Katrin Kandel highly appreciated international medical cooperation activities.
