The southern Can Tho City has just opened a heart hospital to serve both local and regional needs.
None of the existing regional hospitals or medical centres can perform cardiology intervention or cardiovascular surgeries. Therefore, patients have to go to Ho Chi Minh City for more specialised procedures.
The new hospital will provide checks and treatment for cardiovascular disease to people of Can Tho City and other provinces in the Mekong Delta, in order to reduce patient overload and help people save travel costs.
