This collaboration covers 23 programs in areas such as cardiovascular, neuroscience, and medical surgical specialties.
Through this partnership, UMC HCMC is reinforcing its vision to adopt and integrate innovative therapies into patient care. Notable achievements include Vietnam’s first successful treatment of an epilepsy patient using Deep Brain Stimulation and the implementation of training programs—both local and international—for leadless pacemaker therapy.
Comprehensive Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs are also part of this collaboration, helping surgeons adopt advanced procedures in minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) more efficiently. These programs focus on improving surgical outcomes in spine, hernia, thoracic and gastrointestinal surgeries.

Medtronic is also working with UMC to qualify the hospital as the second solo proctor for the TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) technique in Vietnam.
Beyond CME initiatives, Medtronic supports the hospital in enhancing stroke and aortic stenosis management through patient awareness programs, marking significant progress in Vietnam’s healthcare development.
Paul Verhulst, Vice President of Medtronic Southeast Asia, emphasized the collaboration’s impact: “This MoU builds on a longstanding partnership dedicated to advancing healthcare across multiple dimensions. As this collaboration evolves, it is set to bring transformative changes, positively impacting patients, communities, and healthcare professionals in Vietnam.”
