Besides, the hospital has trained and transferred medical techniques in cardiovascular surgery and interventions to hospitals at inferior levels under the satellite hospital project and NORRED project.
Last year, Hanoi Heart Hospital provided medical examination and treatment for 362,981 patients and earned a revenue of over VND1.32 trillion (over US$57 million).
