Digestive health plays a vital role in maintaining overall health and quality of life.

Established in January 2021, the Department of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy was created to meet the growing demand for specialized gastrointestinal diagnosis, endoscopy, and treatment services in Hai Phong and the Northeastern Coastal Region. We focus on comprehensive, patient-centered care with an emphasis on early detection, effective treatment, and long-term disease management. Our goal is to achieve the best possible treatment outcomes, minimize complications, and shorten patients’ recovery time.
