FV Hospital marked the two-decade milestone of its commitment to Deliver World-class Healthcare to Vietnam with the “FV 20-Year Journey Of Trust” Anniversary Celebration, attracting more than 3,000 visitors. On this occasion, FV raised nearly VND 1.5 billion for The Children of Vietnam Charitable Fund.

A monumental, colourful and emotional anniversary celebration

On 9th April 2023, the celebration “FV 20-Year Journey Of Trust” took place successfully at Gem Centre and included memorable activities which made a special impression on more than 3,000 visitors.

The celebration space had been designed like a train, symbolising FV Hospital’s 20-year sustainability journey. When boarding the FV Train, visitors could look back on our journey through a photography and film gallery which shows the development of the hospital from its beginnings as a medical facility constructed in the middle of a little-known swamp in Nam Sai Gon to today’s expansive FV Group ecosystem which includes JCI-accredited FV Hospital, FV Saigon Clinic, four ACC Chiropractic Clinics, and a FV Representative Office in Cambodia.

On this special occasion, FV Hospital was honoured to receive flowers and congratulations from Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan. Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Mr Duong Anh Duc, and Director of the Department of Medical Service Administration, Dr Luong Ngoc Khue, both attended in person and gave a congratulatory speech.

Director of the Department of Medical Service Administration Dr Luong Ngoc Khue shared his appreciation of FV’s accomplishments as the first 100 per cent foreign-invested hospital in Vietnam. FV is one of six top hospitals across Viet Nam accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI), a US-based organisation which assesses healthcare centres according to international quality standards.

Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Mr Duong Anh Duc acknowledged the contributions and achievements of FV Hospital’s team in recent years. He noted in his speech how this private hospital can be trusted to deliver world-class healthcare standards.

Mr Duong Anh Duc was delighted to know that, while most of FV’s key positions were staffed by foreign doctors in the early days of the hospital’s establishment, now most of the leading positions of Department Head and Deputy Head of 36 specialties are staffed by Vietnamese doctors. FV’s current Medical Director is also a Vietnamese doctor. This evolution shows that FV has facilitated the transfer of technology and expertise from global experts to Vietnamese medical teams.

FV Hospital’s CEO Dr Jean-Marcel Guillon thanked the Government, the Ministry of Health, the authorities of Ho Chi Minh City and many other provinces, and other hospitals and partners for supporting and accompanying FV Hospital from project implementation to today.

“Along with Vietnam’s amazing growth rate over the past two decades, FV Hospital has also undergone an impressive transformation. We have always kept our core values and will do even better on the journey ahead.” says Dr Guillon.

FV’s CEO also delivered a comprehensive and emotional overview of the 20-year journey to build and develop FV Hospital, making an impression on thousands of attendees.

The Fund’s bank account received an additional VND 150 million from individuals and organisations from FV’s announcement to contribute to the Children of Vietnam Charitable Fund instead of sending flowers and congratulatory gifts for FV’s 20-Year Celebration.

The total amount that FV received for The Children of Vietnam Charitable Fund is VND 1,450,000,000.

The Children of Vietnam Charitable Fund was founded and sponsored by FV Hospital in 2006 to provide surgical treatment for underprivileged children under 16 years of age who had physical malformations due to accidents or birth defects.

With the money raised from “FV 20-Year Journey of Trust”, more children in difficult circumstances will have the opportunity to be treated and look forward to a brighter future.
