CLEVELAND, Ohio, and HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam: Cleveland Clinic and Vingroup are collaborating to develop the future Vinmec Can Gio International General Hospital based on the Cleveland Clinic model of care, with groundbreaking set for August.
Vinmec Healthcare System, owned by Vingroup, is a non-profit healthcare system dedicated to improving healthcare quality in Vietnam. It currently operates nine hospitals and four clinics in Vietnam.
Vinmec Can Gio will inherit the high international standards of the Vinmec Healthcare System. The new hospital will be planned and constructed from the ground up based on the Cleveland Clinic model of care, integrating comprehensive specialties, advanced clinical centers, and world-class medical equipment.
The new hospital will be located within the Vinhomes Green Paradise, a nearly 7,500-acre world-class coastal township developed by Vingroup in Long Hoa Commune, Can Gio District, Ho Chi Min City township.
“We are honored to continue our collaboration with Vingroup to serve patients in the Vinhomes Green Paradise,” said Tommaso Falcone, M.D., Cleveland Clinic Executive Vice President and President of International and Emerging Markets. “Part of our mission is to bring Cleveland Clinic care to patients around the world. Through this collaboration, Cleveland Clinic will serve as a strategic advisor to Vinmec Healthcare System.”
This early-stage collaboration ensures that Vinmec Can Gio will emerge as a comprehensive, patient-centered international hospital that meets the world’s highest standards in healthcare.
“Vinmec Can Gio is a strategic project marking a new chapter in our journey to build a world-class healthcare system in Vietnam,” said Ms. Le Thuy Anh, CEO of Vinmec Healthcare System.“With the comprehensive support of Cleveland Clinic – a global healthcare leader – we aim not only to elevate healthcare standards for Vietnamese patients but also to position Vinmec as a leading medical destination in the Asia-Pacific region.”
Vinmec Can Gio’s core medical and operational teams will have access to Cleveland Clinic’s advisory services, education, and training. The program for clinicians and nurses will include advanced training in a clinical setting. The hospital’s leadership team will have access to observational opportunities and an in-depth exchange program.
In addition, Vietnamese and international patients of Vinmec Can Gio will have access to Cleveland Clinic’s best practices for clinical care. When necessary, those patients may be referred to Cleveland Clinic hospitals in the U.S.
Vinmec is currently the only healthcare system in Vietnam to have hospitals that meet the requirements for membership to Cleveland Clinic Connected, a robust program of collaborative support to enable hospitals and healthcare organizations around the world to connect with the health system’s clinical and operational experts to enhance patient care and distinguish themselves within their markets.
In January 2023, Vinmec Times City International Hospital became a Cleveland Clinic Connected member.In May 2024, Vinmec Central Park International Hospital also joined the Cleveland Clinic Connected program.
As part of this collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, Vinmec Can Gio International General Hospital will meet the requirements to become a Cleveland Clinic Connected member. The goal of Cleveland Clinic Connected is to build a global network of independent, like-minded, quality-focused organizations that have a positive impact on patient care. Experts from Cleveland Clinic will work with hospitals and health systems to ensure the highest standards of patient care delivery, enhancing operational efficiencies and supporting the professional development and education of clinical and non-clinical staff.
