Yumino Medical Corporation's Strategic MOU with Vietnam's Ministry of Health

Yumino Medical Corporation, based in Toshima, Tokyo, has recently made significant strides in international healthcare by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Thong Nhat Hospital and DOMED Clinic in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This agreement aims to establish a community-centric healthcare model primarily addressing patients with cardiovascular diseases, facilitating a seamless transition from hospital to home care.

Background of the Agreement

In Vietnam, an increase in chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular ailments, has been observed in recent years. This rise correlates with demographic shifts, including an aging population and lifestyle changes. Unfortunately, the country's healthcare system is struggling to keep pace, particularly regarding post-discharge follow-up and home healthcare arrangements. These deficiencies have contributed to the overcrowding of major hospitals and a higher rate of readmissions.

To combat these challenges, Yumino Medical Corporation plans to implement its extensive experience gained in Japan, especially through its cloud-based Nursing Station and eHomeCare systems. These innovations enable the sharing of patient information collected in home settings with healthcare providers, fostering an integrated approach to patient care. The goal is to collaborate with local public hospitals and clinics to enhance healthcare delivery in Vietnam.

Details of the MOU

The newly signed MOU will facilitate the deployment of these healthcare solutions directly in partnership with Thong Nhat Hospital, a key clinical institution under Vietnam's Ministry of Health. This initiative focuses on crucial elements of community healthcare, including discharge support, remote patient monitoring, and comprehensive home care.

Under this framework, Thong Nhat Hospital will take a leading role in patient selection, treatment, discharge planning, clinical follow-up, and program evaluation. Meanwhile, DOMED Clinic will act as the coordination hub, managing collaboration between hospital teams and home care providers, conducting remote monitoring, and overseeing data collection and reporting outcomes.

Yumino Medical will provide specialized knowledge regarding the transition of cardiac patients from hospital to home care, assist in workforce development, and help establish operational frameworks. The ultimate aim is to reduce readmission rates and enhance the overall healthcare delivery system.

Ceremony and Significance

On May 14, 2026, the MOU signing ceremony saw the presence of noteworthy figures, including Dr. Le Dinh Tan, the director of Thong Nhat Hospital, and Professor Pham Le An, president of the Vietnam Association of Family Medicine. Also in attendance was Yumino’s chairman, Daiki Yumino. During the ceremony, Dr. Tan emphasized the importance of transitioning from hospital-centered care to a continuous, health management model. This shift, particularly for elderly patients and those with chronic diseases, underscores the critical nature of post-discharge care.

The partnership also anticipates several benefits, including improved patient safety, reduced risk of readmission, decreased healthcare costs, and minimized risks of hospital-acquired infections. Moreover, it aims to alleviate the psychological burden faced by patients, families, and healthcare providers through structured and professional home care practices.

This MOU marks just the beginning for Yumino Medical as it seeks to leverage its expertise in community-based care and home healthcare to address medical challenges in Vietnam. As this initiative unfolds, Yumino is committed to working alongside local partners, particularly Thong Nhat Hospital, to bridge the gap between hospital care and community support, ensuring patients are continuously cared for even after discharge.
