By harmoniously combining traditional medicine with modern medical practices, the Hoa Binh Traditional Medicine Hospital is strengthening its role in the province’s healthcare system.


 Staff at the provincial Traditional Medicine Hospital provide dedicated treatment for patients.

Every year, from the early morning, the hospital sees a steady flow of patients seeking consultations and treatment. With proper facilities and dedicated medical staff, it has earned positive feedback from patients.

Nguyen Thi Tam, a resident of Phuong Lam ward in Hoa Binh city, said it was her first time receiving treatment at the hospital. She expressed satisfaction with the modern facilities and attentive staff.

As a specialised hospital under the provincial Department of Health, the Hoa Binh Traditional Medicine Hospital provides medical care by integrating traditional and modern treatment methods. It employs 71 staff members, including 20 doctors, 23 nurses, eight pharmacists, and seven medical technicians. The hospital operates five departments, offering 100 inpatient beds.

Doctor Sam Huu Hao, the hospital's director, said patient demand has been on the rise, with over 12,000 people registering their health insurance-covered primary health care at the hospital over the last three years. The institution has also had 1,339 medical services approved to serve locals.

The hospital's advanced equipment, including digital X-ray machines, rehabilitation robots, and diagnostic tools, has boosted its capabilities as well as reputation, enabling the hospital to serve an average of 22,000 patients annually in the last three years, Hao noted.

Looking ahead, the Hoa Binh Traditional Medicine Hospital aims to further improve treatment quality and establish itself as a prestigious facility in traditional medicine.

Its development strategy focuses on integrating traditional medicine with modern rehabilitation techniques. Plans include expanding specialised rehabilitation services, adding new medical procedures, and ensuring a stable supply of medicines and medical equipment for check-ups and treatment.

This year, the hospital is also set to complete a plan on offering inpatient services and specialised treatment packages on demand.
