Doctor Tran Ngoc Hai - Director of Tu Du Hospital said that the doctors of the two hospitals have mastered difficult techniques and high-tech equipment. This incident was difficult because the needle went into the left and left exits only 1.4 mm wide. The placenta is still very small, lying in a fixed crunchy position, causing many obstacles in accessing the fetal heart.

The success of this intervention is not only an effort to save patients' lives, but also a testament that Ho Chi Minh City has specialized medical centers on par with the region and approaching developed countries. Doctors are preparing for further surgeries.

According to Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hung - Director of Children's Hospital 1, this is a difficult case in both professional and legal aspects. The team has performed 2 interventions, deciding to stop at the first and continue to perform a second fetal heart transplant is an extremely difficult consideration.

There is still a long way to go to ensure the safety of mother and baby. The two hospitals continue to coordinate with hospitals in Singapore to prepare for the next steps.

Treatment destination in the area

At the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Health Tran Van Thuan assessed the success of this intervention as proof that the professional capacity of the Vietnamese medical team can completely approach, master and pioneer the application of super-professional techniques. This is also the result of an advanced medical ecosystem.

"We are even more proud that the patient is a mother from Singapore. This not only affirms the prestige of Vietnam's medical expertise beyond borders, but also opens up prospects for regional cooperation, contributing to making Vietnam an in-depth center for obstetrics and gynecology and individual medicine in Southeast Asia and Asia" - the Deputy Minister of Health emphasized.

This is also the first step in realizing the aspiration to develop a high-quality medical tourism industry, attracting regional and international patients to come to Vietnam not only for reasonable costs, but also for professional quality that is increasingly approaching international standards.

The health sector will continue to improve the legal corridor, public-private partnership mechanism and favorable environment to make leading hospitals in Vietnam a reliable treatment destination in the region.

"This week, the Director of the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management instructed the two hospitals to complete procedures to submit to the Ministry of Health for official approval of fetal heart intervention procedures" - Mr. Thuan said.

As reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, on June 2, Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc awarded certificates of merit to Children's Hospital 1 and Tu Du Hospital for their outstanding and outstanding achievements in fetal heart intervention for Singaporean women, contributing to marking a new turning point in fetal medicine in Vietnam.

On the evening of May 30, Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan sent a letter of commendation to cadres, doctors, medical staff and the leadership of Children's Hospital 1 and Tu Du Hospital.

On May 28, fetal intervention specialists from Tu Du Hospital coordinated with cardioversion specialists from Children's Hospital 1 to successfully intervene in a complex congenital heart disease case for a 22-week fetus of a Singaporean mother.

The mother was discovered by KK Women's and Children's Hospital (Singapore) to have a plaque-free fetus in the aorta - a rare case of congenital heart deformities. Singaporean doctors assessed the fetus as having a high risk of death in the uterus and introduced and transferred the patient to Ho Chi Minh City for treatment.

The mother went to Children's Hospital 1 to assess the fetal congenital heart abnormality. The team of Children's Hospital 1 and Tu Du Hospital consulted remotely with leading experts from Australia and France, agreed to diagnose and need early intervention.

This is the 9th fetal heart intervention performed in Ho Chi Minh City, also the most difficult case to date.

The crew conducted the first intervention on May 22 but were unsuccessful. On May 28, the second intervention was successful.
