Going to hospital…is like going to the park

Further more, another impressive thing about the Pediatric Unit  at Vinmec International Hospital are the check-up and treatment procedures. Children who register for health checks have their own medical record which monitors their general health situation until they turn 16. As for new-borns, they are given a complete healthcare package along with a vaccination program.

According to Professor Do Tat Cuong, by setting up medical records in this way, young patients will be routinely cared for by experienced specialists and doctors which can allow the early detection of any possible diseases.

In addition to the eight examination rooms and one all-purpose room for applying treatment and emergency care for Pediatrics only, patients who require intensive care will be sent to theinpatient treatment area. Each room there only has one bed and is fully- equipped to allow close monitoring of the the patient’s condition and provide emergency treatment if necessary. Parents need no longer be worried that their child has to sharea  bed with other patients (a common occurrence in multiple occupancy rooms).

Another noteworthy fact is that medical equipment andsystems used here are all standardized and designed for Pediatric check-ups. For example, the digestive endoscopic system for diagnosis and treatment is specifically designed for children and undertaken by experts of National Pediatrics Hospital. Although Vinmec’s Pediatrics Department has doctors at grade II who previously worked at National Pediatrics Hospital and Xanh Pon Hospital, Vinmec call upon experts from the National Pediatric Hospital for consultation on particularly difficult or unusual cases, in accordance with a cooperation contract with this hospital. Professor Chuong commented that thiswas an advantage for Vinmec to ensure an accurate diagnosis for patients.

In order to properly treat patients and offer them the best possible services, Vinmec is implementing the VINCARE program – a membership scheme with a range of priority levels, from Silver to Diamond.

For young patients, Vimec provides the Vincare Kids program. At an annual insurance cost of just 2.940,000 VND per child, they offer a full range of healthcare and support services.

“Children are at high risk of illness, therefore, in order to avoid unfortunate situations caused by the mindset that you go to hospital is only if seriously ill, Vinmec designed the Vincare Kids package with the aim of ensuring that children receive the best possible care and are protected from serious illness”, shared Professor Cuong.

Vinmec International Hospital offers a Pediatric check-up on Saturdays to allow parents the opportunity to take their children to the hospital out of working hours.
