Cleveland Clinic breaks precedent, building “from scratch” the highest standard international hospital in Vietnam

“ Health passport” for global elite community

Cleveland Clinic, founded in 1921, is one of the world's leading academic health systems. With more than 100 years of operation, the system owns a network of 23 hospitals, more than 280 outpatient facilities, more than 82,000 medical staff, receiving hundreds of millions of examinations and treatments each year from more than 110 countries. For many consecutive years, Cleveland Clinic has been honored in the list of "America's Best Hospitals" by US News & World Report and "World's Best Hospitals" by Newsweek.

Vinmec Can Gio is the first project in Vietnam that the leading US healthcare system has cooperated with as a co-creator right from the “starting line”. This is an unprecedented approach in the history of healthcare in Vietnam.

Cleveland Clinic's role and mark will be clearly demonstrated from the overall planning stage, hospital design, construction of the operating system to clinical model implementation, training, human resource recruitment and service quality assessment according to international standards. Vinmec CEO Le Thuy Anh believes that this comprehensive cooperation will help Vinmec Can Gio optimize the entire design of facilities and medical care processes, ensuring absolute compatibility with the Cleveland Clinic Connected model.

The presence of the Vinmec and Cleveland Clinic brand duo will contribute to establishing the world's most advanced and modern living standards at Vinhomes Green Paradise. Accordingly, the 2,870-hectare mega-city in Can Gio will bring to the elite community an international-standard healthcare ecosystem, where residents can access quality medical examination and treatment services equivalent to those in the US without having to go abroad.

According to economist Nguyen Minh Phong, this hospital is considered a “global health passport” for Vinhomes Green Paradise residents. In the trend of major cities around the world shifting strongly to the “integrated urban” model - where people can enjoy all the high-class amenities and services within a few steps, Vinhomes Green Paradise can be considered the most comprehensive upgraded version.

“The presence of Cleveland Clinic in Can Gio can be seen as the investor’s commitment to creating a world-class metropolis, which is also a potential investment location,” said Dr. Nguyen Minh Phong.

Vinhomes Green Paradise's pre-determined international stature

In fact, right from the first stages, Vingroup has chosen the world's leading partners to accompany the project development, such as: Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Gensler, PGAV Destinations... making Vinhomes Green Paradise the "stage" of the most prestigious stars.

In particular, Vinmec Can Gio, under the creative hands of Cleveland Clinic, is a strategic piece to complete the world-class utility ecosystem at Vinhomes Green Paradise. Thanks to that, the southern coastal metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City will not only be an ideal place to live, but also a leading tourist - medical - resort destination in Asia.

On a global scale, the wellness tourism market is estimated to reach US$954.14 billion by 2024, and is expected to grow to US$2,054 billion by 2034.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Chu Hoi, Member of the 15th National Assembly, Member of the Steering Committee of the Global Ocean Forum (GOF), assessed that Vingroup's approach is very unique, consistent with the stature of Can Gio urban area - a world-class livable coastal megacity in the near future.

“Joining hands with the world’s giants, especially Cleveland Clinic, is a smart and strategic choice, helping Vingroup not only mobilize resources but also attract intelligence and experience from leading international corporations. Thanks to that, the modern sea-encroaching urban project in Can Gio will create a new highlight in the spatial development map of Ho Chi Minh City. The Can Gio coastal urban area will become a place to attract global elites, an attractive destination for tourism - medical treatment - resort for domestic and foreign tourists”, Associate Professor Nguyen Chu Hoi analyzed.

Dr. Nguyen Minh Phong believes that in the context of Ho Chi Minh City's orientation to expand towards the sea, with Can Gio as the new growth pole, Vinhomes Green Paradise with the support of world-class partners will play a leading role. And when the growth space of the old inner-city areas has reached its limit, Vinhomes Green Paradise is a breakthrough step - bringing international urban areas to the sea, opening a new chapter for living and investment trends in Vietnam.

“Competition in the real estate market is not only competition of the house itself but also competition of two important factors - the brand of the management house and additional utility services, including healthcare. Vinhomes Green Paradise, which brings together leading brands and the highest living standards, will have an outstanding advantage that no other place has,” the expert emphasized.

According to Dr. Nguyen Minh Phong, in the near future, Ho Chi Minh City is expected to expand very "hugely" when merging both the "industrial capital" Binh Duong and the "oil and gas center" Ba Ria - Vung Tau. Besides the Can Gio coastal super city, Ho Chi Minh City is also building an international financial center. The world's senior personnel will converge here. When put into operation, the Vinhomes Green Paradise coastal super city will bring the highest global living standards: from education, health care, transportation to tourism, resorts, sports, entertainment...

“This place not only attracts domestic residents but also attracts foreigners to live, work, travel, and receive medical treatment, creating a vibrant coastal metropolis, a new symbol of prosperity for Ho Chi Minh City,” the expert commented.

Vinmec Times City is the first hospital in Vietnam to join the global network of Cleveland Clinic Connected.
