The healthcare sector of Hue City is entering a pivotal transformation phase aimed at building an equitable, sustainable, and modern medical network. As of 2026, the city has recorded impressive milestones: health insurance coverage has reached nearly 99%, doctor density stands at 15.4 per 10,000 residents, and hospital beds have reached 61 per 10,000 residents. National health programs and disease control have been effectively maintained, with a particular focus on medical support for vulnerable groups.
A prominent highlight of Hue’s healthcare is the comprehensive digital transformation process. Currently, 100% of local medical units have implemented electronic medical records and integrated electronic health profiles into the national identification app (VNeID). The city’s health sector focuses on three main pillars: smart treatment, smart healthcare, and smart governance to optimize workflows and minimize waiting times for citizens.
In the 2026 orientation and vision toward 2045, the city prioritizes strengthening grassroots healthcare as a foundation while upgrading the infrastructure of specialized hospitals and disease control centers. The long-term objective is to establish Hue as a leading specialized medical center in Southeast Asia, harmonizing high professional quality with dedicated and professional service standards.
