For 2 days (from July 12-13), a team of French experts will examine and provide free consultation to patients with difficult and complicated vascular diseases at Viet Duc Hospital.

On July 4, Associate Professor Nguyen Huu Uoc, Head of the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery (Viet Duc Hospital) said that this is a cooperation program between Viet Duc Hospital and the Southeast Asia Vascular Surgery Development Association, Republic of France.

This team of experts includes 4 specialists and surgeons who are internal medicine and vascular doctors from major vascular centers in France.

The organizers said that the free consultation session will take place on Friday afternoon (July 12) from 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday morning (July 13) from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

In order to make the examination and consultation work more effective and serve a large number of patients, the cardiology doctors of Viet Duc Hospital will organize a screening examination on Wednesday (July 10), at the cardiovascular clinic, Room 127, Building C (medical examination costs according to general regulations).

Patients with suspected or complicated vascular diseases will be examined and consulted for free by experts on the afternoon of July 12 and the morning of July 13. During this examination, the latest treatment methods such as non-surgical vascular intervention will be performed by French experts.

According to Associate Professor Uoc, non-surgical vascular intervention, especially in the central and main blood vessels, is a difficult and very advanced treatment method in the world. This is a new method applied in Vietnam since the beginning of this year and is still not popular.

At Viet Duc Hospital, most of the cases that have been treated recently are patients with very complex and rare vascular diseases. However, to treat these diseases, with the current conditions in Vietnam, it is very difficult to do because the cost is quite expensive.

“However, with the support of surgical equipment from the French team of experts, in this examination and treatment, patients undergoing vascular intervention only have to pay costs equivalent to those of conventional surgeries. For modern medical equipment, patients also receive partial financial support or do not have to pay at all,” Dr. Uoc emphasized.

Interested people can call two phone numbers to register: 0912444416 – 0989135802. Seriously ill patients and pre-registered patients will be given priority./.
