Abbott and its 30-year journey of accompanying Vietnam's health

Blood donors experience virtual reality technology deployed by Abbott to spread the message of blood donation for the community.

30 years of perseverance with the mission for a healthier Vietnam

During three decades of accompanying Vietnam, Abbott has always been a pioneer in introducing advanced technologies, contributing to improving the quality of health care for people.

Last June, Abbott applied virtual reality technology to a series of blood donation events in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to raise awareness, encourage blood donation in the community as well as help ensure blood supply for emergency and treatment.

In the field of cardiovascular, Abbott has brought many breakthroughs such as Amplatzer Piccolo Occluder, HeartMate 3 and MitraClip®. These solutions help save lives, shorten recovery time and improve quality of life for patients. In addition, advanced stent technologies such as XIENCE drug-eluting stents, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Ensite 3D mapping systems are also contributing to raising the standard of diagnosis and treatment.

In the field of diagnostics, Abbott improves the efficiency of healthcare with the comprehensive Alinity testing system, integrating multiple specialties to automate processes, increase accuracy and shorten diagnosis time, supporting doctors to make faster and more appropriate treatment decisions.

Shaping the future of healthcare: from chronic disease management to nutritional solutions

Not only focusing on medical technology, Abbott also develops solutions for chronic disease care and nutrition, contributing to improving community health.

In 2021, this global healthcare company brought to Vietnam the FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, which provides comprehensive glucose (blood sugar) readings for 14 consecutive days and also predicts blood sugar changes based on information about blood sugar fluctuation results and trends.

As a result, people with diabetes can adjust their lifestyle and professionals can make better treatment decisions, helping to reduce the risk of complications.

FreeStyle Libre has changed the lives of around 6 million people in over 60 countries, and was named “The Most Innovative Medical Technology of the Last 50 Years” by the Prix Galien Golden Jubilee 2022.

FreeStyle Libre has helped about 6 million people worldwide better manage their diabetes.

Faced with the challenge of malnutrition, Abbott has developed a comprehensive range of nutritional solutions, from scientific research to practical applications. In the context of Vietnam being one of the countries with the highest population aging rate in the world, Abbott focuses on solutions to maintain muscle mass and enhance immunity for adults, an essential part of the healthy aging process.

Along with life-changing solutions and technologies, Abbott is also a pioneer in developing innovative nutritional solutions. Abbott has developed Ensure Gold for adults, which helps maintain muscle mass and boost immunity, an essential part of healthy aging.

In the field of pediatric nutrition, Abbott has collaborated with the Vietnam Pediatric Association to develop new guidelines on nutritional screening, assessment and intervention, and support the updating of knowledge and growth assessment tools.

Abbott believes that health is the foundation of a sustainable future. The company aims to improve the health of 3 billion people globally by 2030.

In Vietnam, total investment from Abbott and the Abbott Fund for nutrition programs, chronic disease treatment, medical training and community awareness has exceeded VND280 billion.
