Leading experts from both sides shared their latest methods and highlighted how proper treatment which, given at the right time, can greatly improve the outlook for patients.

This alliance sets the groundwork for future collaboration, scientific exchange, education, and training. Mutual research projects will also be undertaken to benefit patients. Acting as an intermediary to organise seminars between the two parties, Bayer will support these initiatives to enhance the cross-border sharing of the best medical practices, improving the treatment of various diseases.

Dr. Tran Thi Lan Huong, medical director of the Pharmaceuticals Division at Bayer Vietnam stated, "Our goal at Bayer is to provide innovative solutions that offer patients the best possible treatments, backed up by credible scientific evidence. One of the ways we enhance our services is through partnerships with other companies and experts.

We believe this collaboration with Cho Ray Hospital Oncology Center will contribute to the development of medical examinations, treatments, and operations, thus enhancing the public healthcare system and benefiting society overall."

Dr. Le said, “We appreciate Bayer’s support of the collaboration between Cho Ray Hospital Oncology Center and Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Through our joint efforts, we want to expand our field of competence, thus providing patients with optimal medical interventions.”
