The Vietnam Digital Communication Association and VietTimes e-magazine recently held the 2024 Vietnam Digital Awards ceremony. The organizers honored 45 organizations and the outstanding digital transformation solutions across the country. Hoa Binh General Hospital was among the award recipients for its "Electronic Medical Records Replacing Paper-Based Records” solution in the "Outstanding Digital Transformation in Enterprises and Public Units” category.

Dr. Nguyen Hoang
Dieu, the Director of Hoa Binh General Hospital, received the award from the
organizing committee.
In line with the
Prime Minister's Decision No. 749/QĐ-TTg on the "National Digital
Transformation Program to 2025 with a Vision to 2030”, which prioritizes the
healthcare as a key sector for the digital transformation, and the Ministry of
Health's Decision 5316/QĐ-BYT, Hoa Binh General Hospital has emerged as a
pioneer in the digital transformation within Hoa Binh's healthcare sector.
The hospital has
invested in the infrastructure and implemented IT applications in its medical
services. Currently, 100% of the hospital's departments are equipped with
networked computers. Various software systems, including HIS, LIS, PACS, and
other support applications, have been installed and are in use. The hospital
has also promoted the use of electronic medical records, an electronic
prescription management system, remote medical consultations, and the
development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in healthcare. In May
2024, the hospital launched an online appointment registration system through a
mobile app and a free hotline, which has been well-received by patients. One
notable smart application introduced by the hospital is the Picture Archiving
and Communication System (PACS), allowing the storage and online access to all
diagnostic imaging data. Doctors and patients can view the images from
anywhere. The digital transformation efforts have brought significant benefits
to the hospital's operations and services.
On May 15, the Hoa Binh Steering Committee for Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Transformation launched the "Digital Literacy for All” movement. The event was held both in-person and virtually, connecting provincial authorities with district-level Party committees and local communities across communes, wards, and townships.
The People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province on May 16 held a conference to honour outstanding intellectuals for their contributions in 2025.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has held a conference to announce the provincial Party Committee’s decision about the merger of Hoa Binh Newspaper and the provincial Radio and Television Station, along with the Standing Board’s appointment decisions.
After the historic victory on April 30, 1975, which liberated the South and reunified the country, the whole Vietnam embarked on a new mission — promoting peace and reconstructing the nation with century-defining projects. On the fierce Da River, over 30,000 engineers, sappers, and construction workers battled against rocky mountains and raging floods to achieve a remarkable feat. The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia at that time, officially began generating electricity, lighting up the North and ushering in a new era of industrialisation.
Muong Dong in Kim Boi district, one of the four major Muong regions in Hoa Binh province, is harnessing its revolutionary legacy and cultural heritage to drive socio-economic transformation.
Throughout April, the joyful atmosphere of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification spread nationwide. Together with the whole country, residents in Hoa Binh city also expressed their patriotism through meaningful and practical actions.
