University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam
In a
significant stride towards enhancing healthcare accessibility and promoting
preventive care, OMRON Healthcare took a pivotal step by donating 1,000 home blood
pressure monitors and 10 professional blood pressure monitors to the University of Medicine and Pharmacy,
Hue University, located in Thua Thien - Hue province, Vietnam.
The donation
was unveiled during an international conference with the theme "Improving
the Effectiveness of the Family Medicine Network through Innovation in Training
and Research." This conference aimed to stimulate discussions on
strengthening the efficacy of the Family Medicine and Primary Care Network,
which is considered to be the "backbone" of Vietnam's health
ecosystem.
The donation
was spearheaded by Mr. Frans Velkers, MD, OMRON Healthcare Asia Pacific, and
Ms. Nguyen-Le-Minh Hien, Senior Supervisor, OMRON Healthcare Vietnam. This
gesture involved providing both professional and consumer digital blood
pressure monitors, which will be distributed along with educational materials
across five provinces.
These devices
are expected to play a crucial role not only in advancing patient care but also
in elevating awareness around hypertension management through preventive
measures.
The event
witnessed active participation from over 200 doctors, key representatives,
including Mr. Pierre Du Ville, Chief Representative of the Walloon-Bruxelles
Delegation (Kingdom of Belgium) in Vietnam, leaders from the Departments of
Health, and medical staff from primary care levels.
