Distinct Advantages

IMI-qt is endowed with the following unique advantages:

Location

IMI-qt is located in the heart of some 30 millions of potential users of its state-of-the art healthcare services.  It features a prime location:

• Situated on National Highway 1A in between Ho Chi Minh City’s rapidly developing northern suburbs of Binh Thanh, Go Vap, Hoc Mon and Cu Chi (all together populated by some four million),
• Five kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City’s international airport
• Fifteen kilometers from Saigon and the populous (8 millions) heart of Ho Chi Minh City through a transportation corridor. 
• To the north and east along Highway 1A are the prosperous district of Thu Duc and provinces of Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Ba Ra – Vung Tau, and further on Ninh Thuan and Nha Trang (a population together of around 10 million).  Following 1A to the south is the Mekong Delta, of another 15 million inhabitants.

Statistics

From Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta and the southeastern provinces, the total target population approaches 28 million people, and economic statistics suggest that 20% of that population have high-purchase power.

Leading Vietnamese hospitals have recently shown that over 16 percent of the population suffers from cardio-vascular diseases, an increase of 6-8 percent from just ten years ago, and over 10 percent of the total target population may require oncology services.
