Military Hospital 175 is the central hospital for the south region of the ministry of defense, located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was founded in 1975 by unifying a few military medical divisions and units, most notably K116, K72, and K59, initially to serve veterans and military officers after the Vietnam War.[1] Over the years, it has been slowly opened to the general public and now also acts as a district hospital as well as a trauma center for the civilians.
