Reduce maternal mortality
According to statistics, Vietnam is a country with low maternal mortality, with about 124 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. The cause is often due to severe obstetric complications such as uterine rupture, placenta accreta, pulmonary embolism, etc.
At Tu Du Hospital, in 2022, there were 7 emergency cases of uterine rupture and 241 cases of placenta accreta. Most of the cases of uterine rupture outside the hospital were promptly treated by Tu Du Hospital. The rate of uterine preservation surgery in placenta accreta is more than 90% of cases, with new surgical techniques, helping to reduce blood loss during placenta accreta surgery.
"In the strategy to reduce maternal mortality, saving the lives of patients with pulmonary embolism is a new step forward in diagnosing and treating obstetric complications. The maternal mortality rate at Tu Du Hospital has always been kept low," said Dr. Tran Ngoc Hai.
Reduce neonatal mortality
Along with that, at Tu Du Hospital, the neonatal mortality rate is getting lower and decreasing over the years. The survival rate of premature babies, especially extremely premature babies under 26 weeks, is increasing thanks to the full range of modern and specialized neonatal resuscitation equipment.
Every day, the Neonatal Department of Tu Du Hospital receives, treats and cares for more than 200 newborns, of which 30-40% need intensive neonatal resuscitation.

Prenatal diagnosis
According to Dr. Tran Ngoc Hai, improving the quality of the future population is an urgent task of Tu Du Hospital in the general trend of world medicine. Advances in prenatal screening and modern diagnostic imaging equipment have helped detect congenital abnormalities very early in the first 3 months of pregnancy such as mermaid syndrome, Cantrel's pentalogy, Ebstein's anomaly, etc.
Genetic testing at Tu Du Hospital
In addition, specialized fields such as medical genetics have also made many new advances such as blood Karyotype testing. infertility diagnosis, miscarriage; embryo genetic testing (PGT); double test, triple test prenatal screening; non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPT); fetal genetic testing; prenatal diagnosis of fetal thalassemia; newborn screening for congenital diseases, screening for metabolic disorders in infants…
With the goal of early detection of abnormalities and timely intervention of the fetus, the hospital is always at the forefront of improving technical expertise, training and transferring high technical expertise to lower levels, building a widespread prenatal and newborn screening network, and enhancing communication and awareness of the community and society.
In 2022, Tu Du Hospital screened and diagnosed 21,602 cases of congenital abnormalities. Of these, 2,590 cases received timely fetal intervention or termination.
