However, Vietnam has only two tissue preservation and research laboratories at Hanoi Medical University (in Hanoi) and Pham Ngoc Thach Medical University (in Ho Chi Minh City), but no real tissue bank has been established to carry out professional treatment for patients, Giang added.
From this urgent demand, since 2016, Vietnam-Germany Friendship Hospital has started to train professional staff as well as to prepare the best infrastructure to establish a standard tissue bank. To date, the tissue bank of Vietnam-Germany Friendship Hospital officially came into being, Giang stressed.
