Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council works with MEDLATEC on private healthcare development

On September 23, the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council visited and listened to and recorded recommendations for private healthcare development discussed at the MEDLATEC Healthcare System.

The event demonstrates the Government 's interest in the role and contribution of private healthcare, while affirming MEDLATEC's reputation in sharing experiences and proposing solutions for policy development, contributing to improving the quality of public healthcare.

MEDLATEC Healthcare System - a typical private healthcare model

MEDLATEC is honored to be the chosen destination for the tour of the Prime Minister 's Policy Advisory Council.

In the Vietnamese health system, private health care is expected to be an “extended arm” supporting public health care. Resolution 72-NQ/TW and the increasingly improved legal framework have opened up many opportunities for fair and transparent development for the non-public health sector.

However, to fully exploit strengths, continuing to improve policies and remove barriers is still an urgent requirement, aiming to build a solid "support" for the modern healthcare system.

In that context, the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council - a place where the nation's intellectual elite converges, with the mission of advising, criticizing, and creating macro policies - has chosen the MEDLATEC Healthcare System (https://medlatec.vn/) as a destination for visiting and exchanging.

MEDLATEC is a private healthcare unit with 30 years of experience, highly appreciated for its solid professional capacity, rich practical experience and commitment to accompany the Government in building a comprehensive healthcare system.

This is a typical model for the working group to learn about the operating mechanism and development orientation of non-public healthcare, while opening up opportunities to discuss policies, promote cooperation and improve the quality of healthcare services for the people.

Dr. Nguyen Tri Anh - General Director of MEDLATEC delivered the opening speech of the program

MEDLATEC is honored to be the chosen destination for the tour of the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, General Director - Dr. Nguyen Tri Anh expressed his honor and pride to welcome the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council to visit MEDLATEC, and shared that the event is of great significance to MEDLATEC.

This is not only an opportunity for the unit to share practical operating models, but also a valuable opportunity for MEDLATEC to listen to guidance and policy orientation from experts with profound influence in many fields.

Outstanding achievements, comprehensive digital transformation and proposed private healthcare policy

Within the framework of the program, MEDLATEC had the opportunity to present to the Council on strategic areas and highlights that have contributed to building the brand, thereby boldly proposing opinions, providing a comprehensive and objective perspective.

First of all, the home sample collection service (https://medlatec.vn/dich-vu/xet-nghiem-lay-mau-tai-nha) - a pioneering initiative deployed by MEDLATEC since 1996. This superior medical utility helps customers save time, effort and ensures safety, especially in the context of an epidemic.

Next, the delegation visited the MEDLATEC Testing Center. This place is equipped with a synchronous system of modern, fully automatic machines, capable of performing about 1.1 million samples/month.

In addition, the unit quickly and accurately serves more than 2,000 test categories from basic to advanced, manages two international standards in parallel, ISO 15189:2022 and CAP (USA), and is the first medical service to be honored as a Vietnamese National Brand.

Another key content presented in the program was a report on the activities of the MEDLATEC Imaging Diagnostic Center. The two key factors that make the difference from other units are technology and centralized remote film reading process.

In addition, MEDLATEC also impresses with its comprehensive digital transformation strategy. With a long-term vision and clear strategic direction, the unit has invested early in developing technology infrastructure, building a smart hospital management software ecosystem, applying artificial intelligence (AI) in supporting diagnosis and treatment, and especially widely deploying online medical services.

In particular, Dr. Nguyen Tri Anh, representative of the Board of Directors and staff, presented proposals on issues of concern for private healthcare.

The presentation is based on the experience of operating a unit with a solid foundation of experience, while also incorporating a policy perspective, emphasizing the role, opportunities and challenges that the non-public health sector is facing in the context of developing a comprehensive health system.

Open dialogue - frank exchange - towards sustainable health policy

At the meeting, delegates in the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council praised the efforts and recognized MEDLATEC's pioneering role in applying modern technology, optimizing health care processes and making practical contributions to improving the quality of private health services in Vietnam.

Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Chuong highly appreciated the professional capacity of MEDLATEC Healthcare System

Speaking at the program, Head of the delegation, Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Chuong - Former President of National Economics University, member of the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council said: "MEDLATEC is successful in many aspects, "standard" in all fields.

Above all, the unit aims for a great goal, which is to bring value to society and people. This is the core factor that has created the reputation and sustainable brand of the unit over the past 30 years, and at the same time is a valuable experience to replicate in the health system nationwide.

Mr. Nguyen Tu Quang, Chairman of BKAV Group, member of the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council, commented: "MEDLATEC is not only a leading prestigious healthcare system but also considered a professional technology company. The unit has proven that private healthcare can absolutely take the lead in technological innovation, contributing to promoting the national digital transformation process and improving the quality of healthcare services for the people."

At the same time, the Council highly appreciated the sense of responsibility and practicality of the recommendations and affirmed that it would research and synthesize them to advise the Government in the policy-making process.

Prof. Dr. AHLĐ Nguyen Anh Tri gave his concluding opinion.

In his concluding remarks at the program, Prof. Dr. AHLĐ Nguyen Anh Tri, as a member of the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council and founder of MEDLATEC, emphasized that for MEDLATEC, quality is vital, digital transformation is the key to development.
