The General Hospital

This is an important strategic project to eliminate social and healthcare difficulties of Ba Ria – Vung Tau area and to set an effective healthcare model for the whole country.

IGH-vt has been designed to provide improve healthcare services for the province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau, as well as the neighboring provinces of Dong Nai and Binh Duong, along with the Ho Chi Minh City area, and will serve as a healthcare model of quality, efficiency, and cost effectiveness that can rival any international standard healthcare center system.

Clinical areas at the General Hospital cover the areas of

• Radiology
• Pathology
• Dermatology
• Oncology
• Cardiology
• Neurology
• Ophthalmology
• Otorhinolaryngology
• Obstetrics and gynecology
• Pre-natal, neo-natal and pediatrics

The IGH-vt Development Project will serve as a prototype project whose model will support country-wide expansion, contributing to Vietnam’s technological and healthcare development by combining both.

Through telemedicine, IMI-vt is the frontrunner in bringing medical professionals electronically into the underserved southeastern provinces, places removed from modern developments in technology and healthcare alike.  Telemedicine allows patients to obtain medical consultation in their own community, lowering costs, reducing patient travel to secondary or tertiary healthcare centers and overcoming barriers in the delivery of specialist healthcare, including lack of proper public transportation, great distances, travel time and expenses, waiting time, and the lack of trained medical doctors, especially specialists and super specialists. 

With the international-standard IMI-vt telemedicine systems medical professionals and support staff  at the IMI-vt telemedicine command center providing treatment, consultations and diagnoses will use advanced telecommunications to serve the satellite clinics and hospitals across the southern half of Vietnam networked through a secure Web-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) using ADSL and ISDN transmission technologies, and connecting to partnering healthcare institutions around the world hospitals and clinics around the world, offering provincial Vietnam the highest-standard medical treatment.

This distance diagnosis has both clinic-based and Rescue, Land and Sea-based applications.  IMI-vt is in development of a mobile (portable and wireless) telemedicine system for the offshore oil and gas industry in Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province.  The system would include videoconferencing system, peripheral devices and store and forward telemedicine system connecting the remote platforms and carriers to the IMI-vt Telemedicine Command Center Hospital, with combinations of satellite and dedicated land lines. 

We are taking the initiative in the field of medical informatics, where artificial intelligence, process technology and clinical experience come together.  With data (numerical values) and information (non-numerical) as inputs, we are intent on delivering truly remote and mobile treatment, determining the illness and making a diagnosis. 

In places where medical need is most pronounced, and lack of quality or affordability is most apparent, IMI-vt is focused on providing unique, responsive services and solutions.
