It seems to be a common thought of being so miserable when someone has to go to hospital. Hospital-facilities model with 5 star standards, however, will definitely change this thought. This is also an effort made by private enterprises in enhancing investments in hospitals of high level.
Ten years ago, Hanoi people were eager to welcome the first international hospital which was claimed to offer better service than normal hospitals of that time. But now people’s demand for healthcare has changed a lot. They need medical service of perfect quality. To meet that demand, hospitals of high level tend towards “hospitality” in providing healthcare service for people.
Hospitality in hospitals
Vinmec International Hospital is the first one in Vietnam to tend towards hospitality. With hospital-facility model, Vinmec has 600 individual rooms fully equipped with luxurious and modern furniture and facilities for recreation of a five – star hotel, including an LCD TV with cable TV, a fridge, Internet, closet, ensuite, etc.
Besides modern facilities, Vinmec’s hospitality services are provided by the nursing staff that are well-qualified in both medical and resort service. All patients’ demands during their treatments such as hygiene, medicine, diets and recreation are fulfilled satisfactorily. Especially patients’ diets are directly undertaken by a Chef of five – star hotel under nutritional doctor’s indications and served right at the patient’s room. All demands are met at the bed just by pressing the intercom system box.
Invested by Vingroup
However, what makes Vimec become a true hospital rather than a hotel is the quality of health check-ups and treatments. Invested by Vingroup, Vinmec is the first hospital to be fully equipped with a wide range of modern medical machinery. Those advanced equipments which play a crucial role in diagnosis and early treatment of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, neurology diseases, etc such as CT 128 slice scanner, MRI 3.0 Tesla, digital angiography machine are being used in Vinmec. Vinmec is the only hospital in Vietnam having “modern, closed” emergency surgery rooms which are fully equipped with a wide range of machinery, such as ultrasound, endoscopy, X-ray scanners, etc, allowing doctors from different departments to coordinate in the surgery so as to bring higher chance of survival for patients. Unlike the imagination of “huge cost at five-star hospital”, Vinmec’s cost of service is equivalent to that of private hospitals in Hanoi and much cheaper than that in standard hospitals in foreign countries.
“The cost is so cheap in comparison with five-star service”, said Thanh Chau, a patient of Endocrinology. Being a specialist of a multinational company, Chau has experienced a lot of medical services in foreign countries. She realized that the cost in Vinmec was only by 50% of that in hospitals in Thailand and Singapore. “I like this hospital model which offers service deservingly to the money I pay for”, added Chau.
Like other five-star hotels, Vinmec not only provides healthcare service during the patient’s treatment at the hospital but also a long-term service through Vincare, a program for loyal customers. This is a strong point of Vinmec in providing a wide selection of service to meet the demands of recipients of all ages and different incomes.
New style hospital
Besides Vincare with a lot of preferential benefits, customers can select separate services at reasonable costs, such as general health check-up at 2 million VND, cancer screening at 1.5 million VND, etc.
It can be seen that with the opening of large capacity and quality private hospitals like Vinmec, patients will have more options. “The opening of Vinmec contributes to fulfilling the long-term goal for the Group’s leader – to provide international standard health checks and treatments for Vietnamese. From now on, besides Vincom, Vinpearl, Vincharm – Vingroup’s best-known trademarks,Vingroup can be proud to offer five-star healthcare at a facility built by Vietnamese for the Vietnamese”, said Mr. Le Khac Tu, on behalf of investors.
