Vinmec Healthcare System today officially launched its nationwide network of High-Tech Robotic Surgery Centers, marking a major milestone in the advancement of surgical innovation in Vietnam. The defining feature of the new network is Vietnam's first and only multi-connected robotic surgery ecosystem, which integrates multiple world-leading robotic technologies across its hospital network. Vinmec Times City International Hospital serves as the clinical coordination hub, linking robotic surgery centers at Vinmec Smart City, Vinmec Da Nang, Vinmec Central Park, Vinmec Can Tho and other Vinmec hospitals throughout the country.
For general surgery, Vinmec operates three of the world's leading robotic surgery 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. These technologies enable surgeons to access deep anatomical structures and perform highly precise procedures. Notably, the Toumai MT-1000 introduces 5G-enabled remote robotic surgery, laying the foundation for connected healthcare delivery. In orthopedic surgery, 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 other hospitals. For neurosurgery and spine surgery, Vinmec has integrated the StealthStation S8, Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic guidance system and the O-arm with StealthStation O2 imaging platform at Vinmec Smart City and Vinmec Da Nang.
Vinmec is also the first healthcare provider in Vietnam to develop 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, benefits from AI-enabled robotic assistance during surgery, and is treated according to internationally recognized standards. To operate this ecosystem, Vinmec has developed a multidisciplinary team of specialists who have undergone rigorous training and international robotic surgery certification programs.
Alongside the launch, Vinmec announced the establishment of the Robotic Surgery Patient Support Fund, backed by nearly VND 300 billion from Vingroup, to reduce financial barriers and expand patient access to advanced robotic surgery. At the event, Prof. Tran Van Thuan, Deputy Minister of Health, praised Vinmec's vision of building a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing clinical care, medical education, 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." Assoc. Prof. Pham Van Binh, Director of the Vinmec High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network, emphasized the network's role as an academic institution integrating clinical practice, training, and research.
The launch represents a significant step forward in accelerating Vietnam's transition toward precision, personalized, and technology-driven surgery, laying the foundation for Vietnam to emerge as a regional hub for robotic surgery in Southeast Asia.
