Applying advanced technology to control allergies and autoimmune diseases

Currently, the post-Covid-19 pandemic immune system disorder makes chronic diseases increasingly complex and difficult to control. To effectively diagnose and treat chronic diseases, medical facilities must focus on developing the field of clinical allergy and immunology.

In Vietnam, Vinmec - VinUni Immunology Research Institute is a pioneer in applying modern technology to analyze and evaluate immune diseases. In particular, the flexible molecular allergen diagnostic system can perform a variety of tests to diagnose both allergies and autoimmune diseases, providing accurate and fast results.

Vinmec possesses the most modern technology in Vietnam and a team of leading experts and doctors.

In addition to possessing the most modern technology in Vietnam, Vinmec also brings together a team of leading domestic and international doctors and experts from Penn State University (USA), Macquarie University (Australia), with extensive expertise and practical experience in advanced healthcare systems around the world in the treatment of chronic diseases. In particular, with the strength of a multidisciplinary care model such as orthopedics, cardiovascular, oncology, gastroenterology, neurology, infectious diseases... Vinmec always brings comprehensive and effective treatment solutions to patients.

One of the results achieved by applying advanced technology, combining the expertise and experience of the medical team, is the successful control of urticaria - a common disease that greatly affects the health and quality of life of patients.

“In Vietnam, many people with acute and chronic urticaria self-medicate with inappropriate corticosteroid ingredients or herbal medicines of unknown origin, making the disease more severe, difficult to control for thorough treatment and increasing costs. Accurate diagnosis based on appropriate tests and adherence to treatment regimens will help improve treatment effectiveness, reduce complications and side effects caused by drugs or uncontrolled disease. We always prioritize the treatment direction that minimizes costs but brings the fastest results, helping patients reduce the burden of disease,” said Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Dinh, Director of the Center of Excellence (CoE) Allergy - Clinical Immunology, Head of Internal Medicine Department, Vinmec Times City Hospital, and Deputy Director of Vinmec - VinUni Immunology Research Institute.

Patients were directly measured and carefully evaluated by the doctor for urticaria control points after 4 weeks.

At Vinmec, urticaria patients are not only treated effectively but also carefully screened for comorbidities, such as autoimmune diseases and allergies, which are potential factors that can affect treatment outcomes. This ensures a comprehensive, appropriate and optimal treatment plan. After 4 weeks of treatment, the effectiveness will be assessed through the urticaria control score and quality of life score, which are managed and measured directly by the doctor with each patient.

UCARE – Guarantee for “international standard hospital”

In Vietnam, the Allergy - Clinical Immunology Center of Vinmec Times City International General Hospital is currently the only facility to achieve UCARE certification.

This certification demonstrates the outstanding treatment effectiveness in both adults and children with a good disease control rate of up to 76%, improving the quality of life of over 90% of chronic urticaria patients, normalizing the quality of life of 50 - 70% of patients. This is also the result after 4 weeks of treatment applying the examination and disease management process according to international standards of EAACI, GA2LEN, EuroGuiderm, APAA.

Vinmec Times City is currently the third medical facility in Southeast Asia to be certified to have completed assessment according to 32 strict criteria of UCARE.

The Allergy - Clinical Immunology Center of Vinmec Times City International General Hospital is currently the only facility to achieve UCARE certification.

UCARE is an international certification granted by GA2LEN - the European global network of allergy and asthma. To achieve this certification, treatment centers must meet 32 ​​strict criteria, including professional standards, disease progression monitoring capacity, disease control, use of disease differentiation algorithms, identification of comorbidities and potential causes of the disease, etc.

In addition, the center needs to meet the requirements of hospital quality management and the ability to coordinate with other specialties in the treatment of associated diseases; the ability to accurately differentiate diagnoses and perform extensive diagnostic tests.

Achieving UCARE certification and joining the international network in the treatment of urticaria will bring Vinmec strong resources, improving the effectiveness of treating acute and chronic urticaria. Patients can be completely assured because they are diagnosed, treated and managed according to international standards, fully meeting the strict criteria of UCARE certification. This is an important step forward in providing international standard medical services in Vietnam, bringing practical benefits to the community of chronic urticaria patients.
