Vu Anh Tuan, general secretary of the HCMC Computer Association, said most hospitals do not use information technology efficiently.
“Vietnam’s medical system needs effective IT use to better manage patients’ records, reduce the waiting time and improve examination and treatment services,” he said.
On average, a patient has to wait around 10 hours for being examined and a doctor sees around 90 patients a day.
