Hanoi Medical University

Hanoi Medical University was the first modern university in Vietnam when it was founded as Indochina Medical College in 1902.

It offers programmes in general medicine, traditional medicine, maxillofacial surgery, preventive medicine, public health, medical laboratory technique, nutrition, nursing, advanced nursing, opthalmic refraction, rehabilitation technique, dental reconstruction technique, midwifery and psychology.

It offers additional classes in traditional medicine, a discipline taught since 1961, to students with overseas qualifications. 

The general hospital has operated as both a public hospital and the university's experimental facility since 2007.

A 15-storey dormitory building has places for 2000 students, with 167 men and 240 women newly accepted in 2023. 

The Hoc Mai programme has enabled student exchanges with Australian medical schools since 1998, while HUMS is one of three Vietnamese medical schools which signed a partnership with Harvard Medical School in 2022.
