The collaboration includes $250,000 in patient monitors, provided by GE Healthcare, which will be used to help train Vietnamese clinicians across the country on how to better utilise patient monitors to improve patient care, specifically in the emergency department and intensive care unit (ICU). Through this grant GE Healthcare will provide more than 30 of the company’s B40 and CARESCAPE B650 patient monitors, in addition to two CIC Pro central monitoring stations. These systems can assist clinicians in potentially reducing a patient’s duration of stay and mortality in the ICU.
