Bringing the field of clinical allergy and immunology closer to international standards

The World Allergy Organization (WAO) is the world's leading medical organization in the field of allergy and clinical immunology. WAO brings together 115 member associations from countries and territories across 6 continents. Medical units awarded the title of Center of Excellence by WAO must meet the requirements of outstanding capacity in treatment, training, research, medical innovation and international influence.

After a rigorous evaluation process, with many rounds of document review, scientific evidence and practical operational capacity testing, Vinmec Clinical Allergy and Immunology Center has been recognized as a WAO Center of Excellence.

The event not only affirms Vinmec's professional capacity, but also opens up opportunities for priority access to international training, research and clinical trial programs, and breakthrough treatments from WAO and the world's leading academic partners.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Dinh, Director of Vinmec Clinical Allergy and Immunology Center, said that being recognized by WAO as a Center of Excellence is a step forward for the allergy and clinical immunology specialty in Vietnam, helping the center gain deeper access to advances in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases, participate in research, and access advanced therapies in the world.

The center's medical team also has the opportunity to be trained and developed by leading experts, thereby being able to provide optimal, personalized and safest treatment solutions for patients.

Before being recognized as a Center of Excellence by WAO, Vinmec Clinical Allergy and Immunology Center was the first medical facility in Vietnam to be simultaneously awarded two international titles in allergy specialties, including: Center of Excellence in Atopic Dermatitis Treatment according to ADCARE standards and Center of Excellence in Urticaria-Angioedema Treatment according to UCARE standards.

This is also the first and only unit in Vietnam licensed by the Ministry of Health to deploy modern biological drugs and immunotherapy in the treatment of severe chronic allergic-immune diseases such as bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, chronic urticaria, allergic rhinitis with nasal polyps, allergic conjunctivitis...

Currently, the unit is pioneering the application of genetic testing to screen for drug allergy risks, thereby personalizing treatment regimens, improving patient safety, or applying monoclonal antibodies. This is an advanced and specialized treatment method that is usually only available at major centers abroad.

At the same time, the system has built a comprehensive diagnosis and management program for congenital immune disorders, helping with early detection, proper treatment and long-term control.

WAO also recently recognized leading regional centers such as the National University of Singapore, Yonsei University School of Medicine (Korea), University of Tokyo Hospital (Japan), and Shanghai Medical University Hospital (China).
