Vinmec lanserer Vietnams første multikoblede robotkirurgi-nettverk – med pasientstøttefond på 11,5 millioner dollar

On June 27, 2026, Vinmec Healthcare System launched Vietnam's first integrated nationwide network of High-Tech Robotic Surgery Centers, establishing the country's first and only multi-connected robotic surgery ecosystem . The network is built on a model of multi-point connectivity — linking specialists, hospitals, and international technology partners within a unified operating platform .

Robotic Platforms by Specialty

Vinmec's network deploys more than ten advanced robotic surgical systems across three main specialty areas, coordinated from the central hub at Vinmec Times City International Hospital .

General Surgery (Soft-Tissue / Laparoscopy)

• Da Vinci Xi (at Vinmec Times City) — the established gold standard for minimally invasive soft-tissue surgery
• Hugo RAS (at Vinmec Da Nang, Vinmec Central Park) — Medtronic's modular challenger system
• Toumai MT-1000 (at Vinmec Smart City, Vinmec Can Tho) — notably enables remote surgery over 5G networks

Orthopedics / Joint Replacement

• ROSA (Vinmec Smart City) — Zimmer Biomet's robotic platform for orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures
• MISSO (Vinmec Times City, Vinmec Can Tho)
• CORI (Vinmec Ocean Park 2, Vinmec Hai Phong, Vinmec Da Nang, Vinmec Central Park, Vinmec Phu Quoc, Vinmec Nha Trang) — an AI-integrated orthopedic robotic system from the United States, first deployed in Central Vietnam in April 2026

Neurosurgery / Spine

• StealthStation S8, Mazor X Stealth Edition, and O-arm with StealthStation O2 (Vinmec Smart City, Vinmec Da Nang) — providing real-time image-guided navigation and positioning for complex spinal and cranial procedures

The central coordinating hub is Vinmec Times City, which links robotic surgery centers at Vinmec Smart City, Vinmec Da Nang, Vinmec Central Park, Vinmec Can Tho, and other hospitals across the system .

Accompanying Patient Support Fund

At the launch, Vinmec announced the establishment of the Robotic Surgery Patient Support Fund with an initial allocation of 280 billion VND (approximately US$11.5 million) from parent company Vingroup . The fund is designed to subsidize surgical fees, auxiliary costs, and consumables, making robotic procedures more accessible to patients who might otherwise be unable to afford them .

Regional Ambitions and Recent Recognitions

This network launch builds directly on Vinmec's broader strategy to become a regional hub for high-tech medicine in Southeast Asia, supported by a series of recent milestones:

• Healthcare Asia Awards 2026: Vinmec won three major titles — "Healthcare System of the Year," "Patient Care Initiative of the Year," and "ESG Program of the Year" — marking the second consecutive year it received the top system-level award .
• Cleveland Clinic Connected Membership: Vinmec is the only healthcare system in Vietnam eligible for membership in Cleveland Clinic Connected, a program that links it with one of the world's top hospital networks . Vinmec Times City joined in January 2023, and Vinmec Central Park joined in May 2024 .
• Global Hospital Ratings (2026): Seven Vinmec hospitals earned 4-star Global Hospital Ratings, with Vinmec Times City and Vinmec Central Park receiving 5-star ratings in the categories of Clinical Services and Patient Safety & Experience .
• Vingroup's Surgical Robotics Venture: In May 2026, parent company Vingroup established a new subsidiary, VinSurgical, with charter capital of 300 billion VND (~$11.4 million), focused on research, development, and technology transfer related to surgical robots and smart medical devices — signaling an intent to move from adoption to domestic production of robotic systems .
