Nghe An Dermatology Hospital, formerly Nghe An Dermatology Station, was established in 1964. In 2006, this station was upgraded to Nghe An Dermatology and Leprosy Control Center. However, the demand for patients to come to this center for examination and treatment of skin diseases, sexually transmitted diseases and cosmetic skin care is increasing.

Faced with that situation, the People's Committee of Nghe An province decided to establish Nghe An Dermatology Hospital on the basis of upgrading the Anti-Leprosy - Dermatology Center.
After its establishment, the hospital is a public health service unit at the provincial level, grade 3, under the Nghe An Department of Health, and will be under the professional and technical direction of the Department of Health and the Central Dermatology Hospital. In the early days of its establishment, the hospital was a self-sufficient unit in regular expenses.
Nghe An Dermatology Hospital will still maintain the function of preventing and treating leprosy, sexually transmitted diseases, skin diseases, and cosmetic surgery. The hospital will have 50 beds, 2 rooms and no more than 6 departments.
It is expected that in early 2020, Nghe An Dermatology Hospital will move its headquarters from No. 142, Le Hong Phong Street to No. 130, Le Hong Phong Street, Truong Thi Ward, Vinh City.
