Implementing the direction of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee on strengthening professional linkages between medical facilities in the area, Gia Dinh People's Hospital has put into operation the Satellite Clinic at Saigon General Hospital. This is the first step for a comprehensive professional cooperation model between the city's two major hospitals.

The operation of satellite clinics helps people in the central area of Ho Chi Minh City have more convenient access to high-quality medical services in a modern environment, contributing to improving the effectiveness of community health care.
Dr. Mai Phan Tuong Anh - Deputy Director of Gia Dinh People's Hospital, shared: "The implementation of a satellite clinic at Saigon General Hospital is a strategic step in the process of expanding the network to serve the people. At the same time, this is a practical solution to reduce the burden on the main facility, helping people access medical services near their home".
According to the roadmap approved by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, Saigon General Hospital will become Facility 2 of Gia Dinh People's Hospital, aiming to develop into a general hospital specializing in emergency care. The operation of the satellite clinic not only marks a new step forward in the cooperation model between public health facilities, but also affirms the commitment of the two hospitals to connect resources, share expertise and join hands in health care for people and international tourists.
