Binh Thuan residents enjoy high-tech vascular intervention services right in the province.

Mr. Dang Thuc Anh Vu, Deputy Director in charge of the Department of Health of Binh Thuan province, said that according to statistics, from 2020 to June 2023, 63% of local patients with acute myocardial infarction had to be transferred to another hospital, 13% died; 38% of patients with acute stroke had to be transferred to another hospital, 5% died.

Therefore, the implementation of new techniques and new methods related to vascular diagnosis and intervention is extremely necessary for people in the province.
