Snake Doctor Pioneers in Innovating Vietnamese Medicine

Aspiration to innovate Vietnamese medicine

During his career at K Hospital, Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy has built a reputation thanks to his professional talent and dedication to the country's medicine. Born in the year of the Snake (1989), the doctor has a passion for innovation, always eager to find the most advanced medical solutions, helping to bring hope to cancer patients across the country.

A working day of Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy starts early in the morning. With a busy schedule, the young doctor often arrives at the hospital before office hours to prepare for surgeries. "I'm having thyroid cancer surgery, I'll call you back after the surgery!" - the warm, humble voice of the young doctor rang out.

A new day begins with the first surgery, usually thyroid cancer patients - a field that Dr. Duy focuses on. After a quick, hurried lunch, the doctor takes the opportunity to examine and check the patient's condition after surgery. For the doctor, each conversation with the patient is not only for medical monitoring but also to bring peace of mind and encouragement to them.

In the early afternoon, Dr. Duy attends consultations with colleagues to discuss complex cases. At the same time, he does not forget to update new medical documents and exchange experiences with domestic and foreign experts. At the end of the day, he continues to examine outpatients. Patients who come to see Dr. Duy not only hope to find effective treatment methods but also feel his dedication and enthusiasm.

Before leaving the hospital, Dr. Duy always takes time to write down the day’s events and prepare for the next day. This helps him not to miss any details during the treatment process.

Even after returning home, the young doctor continued his work by conducting research, writing reports and answering professional emails from international colleagues.

Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy is a typical image of a dedicated doctor, always striving to bring life opportunities and hope to patients. His working day not only reflects his busyness, but also an inspiring journey of passion and dedication.

Starting out as a young, energetic doctor, Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy quickly established himself thanks to his excellent professional skills. The doctor invested a lot of time in researching and applying new technologies such as surgical robots and AI technology in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

To date, Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy is known as one of the leading experts in the field of oncology in Vietnam. He has directly performed many complex surgeries, opening up opportunities for life for many patients. In particular, the application of modern technology to the treatment process has helped increase treatment effectiveness, reduce time and costs for patients.

With 62 published scientific articles, Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy has made his mark as one of the most outstanding young doctors in Vietnam. His groundbreaking research on "Thyroidectomy through the oral vestibule in children" is one of the names that has contributed to changing the treatment of thyroid cancer in children around the world.

Thyroid cancer is becoming more and more common and tends to be younger. The classic treatment method of open surgery, although effective, leaves scars on the neck, affecting aesthetics. Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Le Van Quang - Director of K Hospital, Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy pioneered endoscopic surgery through the oral vestibule for thyroid cancer patients. This method not only helps increase survival time but also brings high aesthetic results.

His tireless efforts have taken Dr. Duy further. He was invited by Prof. Angkoon Anuwong - a global pioneer in endoscopic thyroid surgery - to present and lecture at international conferences. This is not only a source of personal pride, but also a testament to the capacity and creativity of young Vietnamese doctors on their journey to the big sea.

Passionate about humanistic medicine

With important contributions in professional and social fields, Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy is helping to strengthen the position of Vietnamese medicine on the world map. For him, the desire to bring a better life to patients is the greatest motivation in his career.

The journey from a medical student to an experienced surgeon has helped Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy realize a truth: Persistence and initiative are the keys to opening the door to opportunities. Especially in the field of clinical medicine, research on patients, not only requires caution but also requires ensuring research ethics. This is a big challenge that he always keeps in mind: "Try your best, persistently pursue your passion to achieve the best results" - the message from Dr. Duy for young people who are entering the medical field.

Working with cancer patients for many years, along with successes, there have been many times when he has faced concerns. Each time is an opportunity to look back, correct mistakes and constantly improve his skills. He often mentions the motto he loves: "If passion is the path to success, then perseverance is the vehicle that takes you there." For him, passion is not only the fire that lights up the journey, but also the source of energy that helps him overcome difficult challenges in research and treatment.
