U.S. Clinic Helps Hospital Develop Stem Cell Transplantation

Experts from the United States’ Mayo Clinic will help the Saint Paul General Hospital apply stem cell transplantation in trauma-orthopedic treatment and train its human resources to handle such applications. The cooperation was part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed recently with an aim to improve the hospital’s examination and treatment quality for patients in Hanoi. Under the framework of the MoU, Mayo Clinic experts will provide human resource training for Saint Paul Hospital doctors in applying stem cell transplantation while treating blood issues, injury diseases and neuropathology surgery. The US experts will also support the hospital to establish a stem cell transplantation section, which is connected with the hospital’s existing high-tech centre, where they will directly transfer advanced techniques to the hospital’s doctors. The two hospitals will work together in patient examination, diagnosis and treatment as well as conduct scientific and clinical study and researches. (Vietnam News June 27)
