HCM CITY—The State-owned Thống Nhất Hospital in HCM City has set up a haemodialysis centre equipped with modern machines, a new-generation reverse osmosis water purification system and other international standard equipment.

The centre, which has ISO 1900 : 2015 certification, is expected to improve the quality of haemodialysis for patients and in turn their life.

The launch coincides with the 45th anniversary of the hospital, arguably the largest gerontological facility in the country.

In 2017 it became financially autonomous, and thanks to this it has taken the initiative to adopt a number of advanced technologies and upgrade training for its staff.

This year the hospital has treated more than a million outpatients, while all its 1,200 beds are invariably occupied.

To celebrate the 45th anniversary, the hospital also organised a conference on diseases of the heart, stroke and others. VNS
