Vinmec Healthcare System today officially launched its nationwide network of High-Tech Robotic Surgery Centers, marking a major milestone in the advancement of surgical innovation in Vietnam. The network features Vietnam's first and only multi-connected robotic surgery ecosystem, integrating multiple world-leading robotic technologies across its hospital network. Vinmec Times City International Hospital serves as the clinical coordination hub, linking robotic surgery centers at other Vinmec hospitals nationwide.
For general surgery, Vinmec operates three of the world's leading robotic surgery platforms: Da Vinci Xi at Vinmec Times City, Hugo RAS at Vinmec Da Nang and Vinmec Central Park, and Toumai MT-1000 at Vinmec Smart City and Vinmec Can Tho. These technologies enable surgeons to access deep anatomical structures and perform highly precise procedures. Notably, the Toumai MT-1000 also introduces 5G-enabled remote robotic surgery capability, laying the foundation for future connected healthcare delivery.
In orthopedic surgery, Vinmec has deployed a comprehensive portfolio of next-generation joint replacement robots, including ROSA at Vinmec Smart City, MISSO at Vinmec Times City and Vinmec Can Tho, and CORI across multiple locations. These technologies enable personalized surgical planning and millimeter-level precision in implant positioning. For neurosurgery and spine surgery, Vinmec has integrated the StealthStation S8, Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic guidance system, and O-arm with StealthStation O2 imaging platform at Vinmec Smart City and Vinmec Da Nang, providing real-time navigation and intraoperative imaging.
Vinmec is also the first healthcare provider in Vietnam to develop a "3-in-1" robotic surgery model built on Personalization, Automation and Standardization. Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan through preoperative 3D reconstruction and surgical simulation, benefits from AI-enabled robotic assistance during surgery, and is treated according to internationally recognized standards.
To operate this large-scale ecosystem, Vinmec has developed a multidisciplinary team of specialists who have undergone rigorous training and international robotic surgery certification programs. Alongside the network launch, Vinmec announced the Robotic Surgery Patient Support Fund, backed by nearly VND 300 billion in funding from Vingroup, to reduce financial barriers and expand patient access to advanced robotic surgery, particularly for those facing financial hardship.
At the event, Prof. Tran Van Thuan, MD, PhD, Deputy Minister of Health, remarked: "I highly appreciate Vinmec's vision of not only investing in advanced medical equipment but also building a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing clinical care, medical education, scientific research, technology transfer, and international collaboration." Prof. Tran Trung Dung, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Vinmec Healthcare System, said: "Our High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network is built on a model of multidimensional connectivity connecting experts, hospitals and the world's leading technology partners within a single integrated ecosystem." According to Assoc. Prof. Pham Van Binh, MD, PhD, Director of the Vinmec High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network, the true strength lies in establishing an academic institution for robotic surgery that integrates clinical practice, academic training, scientific research and technology transfer.
The launch represents a significant milestone in accelerating Vietnam's transition toward precision, personalized and technology-driven surgery, positioning the country as a regional hub for robotic surgery and advanced medical treatment in Southeast Asia.
