Hong Ngoc General Hospital has invested in diagnostic and treatment technologies, including the Philips EPIQ Elite cardiovascular Doppler ultrasound system, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), Revolution Apex Elite 2560-slice CT technology and a 1.5T MRI system with cardiac imaging capability, among others.

These technologies support the assessment of cardiac structure and function, coronary arteries, vascular diseases, cardiomyopathies, congenital heart disease and complex cardiovascular lesions, helping physicians select appropriate treatment strategies and monitor patients after intervention.

Hong Ngoc General Hospital – a trusted destination for international patients seeking cardiovascular care in Hanoi

Beyond serving local patients, the Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology Department has also become a trusted choice for many international patients.

The hospital also works with a wide network of domestic and international insurance providers, offering direct billing support to streamline administrative procedures and help optimise treatment costs. Its “Hospital - Hospitality” model combines medical quality with patient-centered healthcare services, providing a convenient appointment booking process, private care spaces, high-standard inpatient facilities and a nursing team that provides continuous monitoring.
