In 1978, Quang Dong Hospital was publicized according to the Government's policy and was later renamed Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital. To date, Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital is one of the first-class general hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City. Each year, the hospital examines an average of nearly 600,000 outpatients and receives and treats nearly 50,000 inpatients.
Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital, with its strengths in treating internal and surgical neurology, endocrinology, orthopedics, digestion, blood filtration, kidney dialysis, etc., has attracted many patients in the city and other provinces.
