Under the agreement, the two parties will jointly implement various cooperative activities for mutual benefit, focusing on three main areas:

• Conducting joint research projects, including scientific collaboration and sharing of research outcomes.
• Exchanging academic activities and programs in areas of mutual interest, such as clinical observership programs, internships, and faculty and physician exchanges.
• Co-organizing scientific conferences and training programs in Vietnam, contributing to enhanced research capacity and the continuous update of modern medical knowledge.
