Siemens Healthineers will support Hoa Lam Group with general management consulting services to implement its digital transformation roadmap, offering various solutions such as artificial intelligence tools to assist radiologists (breast mammography, lung CT, brain MRI) and performance management solutions.

They also aim to collaborate for research and promote programmes to raise awareness and conduct cancer screenings (such as for breast, liver and lung cancers) for the community.

Tran Thi Lam said the Hoa Lam Shangri-La High-Tech Medical Zone in Binh Tan district is an investment by Hoa Lam Group to provide international standard medical services for people in Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia.
