Attending the ceremony, on the side of the Swedish partners were Prof. Mia von Euler, Rector of Sophiahemmet University; Mr. Jan Olof Sjobeck, CEO and Founder of EviBody Company, along with members of the delegation.

Connecting strengths, aiming for comprehensive patient care

Cooperation among the three parties is built on promoting the strengths of each unit: Bach Mai Hospital with its professional experience and clinical practice; Sophiahemmet University with its strengths in nursing training, research, and patient-centered care; and EviBody Company with preventive healthcare solutions and digital-based training.

Speaking at the ceremony, Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Hung, Deputy Director of Bach Mai Hospital, emphasized that healthcare quality must be ensured throughout the patient's journey, from detection and risk factor control to treatment, rehabilitation, and community health management.

For stroke patients, continuous coordination among specialties, medical facilities, patients, and families is of particular importance. Following the acute treatment phase, controlling risk factors, adhering to treatment, and preventing recurrence are essential requirements to maintain treatment effectiveness, limit complications, and help patients gradually return to normal life.

Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Hung noted that the cooperation should focus on enhancing preventive care capacity, supporting patients through digital tools, and developing training and research activities closely linked to practice. Technological solutions must be suitable for conditions in Viet Nam, easy to use, especially for the elderly and those with limited technological skills, while ensuring professional requirements, information safety, and data security.

At the ceremony, representatives of the three parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation, establishing the basis for implementing collaborative programs in the coming period

Sharing at the program, Prof. Mia von Euler, Rector of Sophiahemmet University, expressed her delight at returning to Bach Mai Hospital. Through visiting the Stroke Center and several units of the hospital, she highly appreciated the professional capacity, experience, and dedication of the medical staff.

Prof. Mia von Euler noted that, with the population scale and growing healthcare demand in Viet Nam, improvements in care practices, even in small steps, can create positive impacts for patients. She expects that combining the strengths of the three partners will yield practical results, especially in the field of stroke prevention and management.

Mr. Jan Olof Sjobeck, CEO and Founder of EviBody Company, emphasized that the shared goal of the parties is to enhance the prevention of first-time strokes and limit the risk of recurrence. According to him, applying digital technology and big data can help connect medical staff with patients and families, contributing to improving the efficiency of preventive care towards personalizing health management solutions.
