The initiative seeks to establish a self-reliant medical equipment management framework at Tan Chau General Hospital, enabling it to provide superior healthcare services to residents of An Giang and surrounding areas. Funded by the Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF) from the Export-Import Bank of Korea, the project emphasizes the sustainable maintenance and management of Korean-manufactured medical equipment.
KonKuk University Hospital will lend its advanced expertise in biomedical engineering, focusing on key consulting tasks such as creating a structured preventive maintenance system, developing guidelines for equipment upkeep and disposal, providing advisory support for the hospital’s biomedical engineering team, and implementing a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). The effort also includes training programs for both local and Korean professionals to ensure enduring operational success.
“This project reflects the global acknowledgment of KonKuk University Hospital’s expertise in medical equipment management,” said Ki-Tae Kim, head of the hospital’s biomedical engineering team. “We plan to work with other medical institutions in Vietnam to significantly improve healthcare service quality.”
Through this endeavor, KonKuk University Hospital aims to elevate its international reputation and expand its role in Official Development Assistance (ODA) consulting and global training programs, contributing to healthcare progress in developing countries.
