TMMC Cancer Center (Vietnamese: Trung Tâm Ung Bướu, Bệnh viện Ung Bướu, Trung Tâm Ung Thư, Bệnh viện Ung thư TMMC) is a specialized cancer hospital, the first of its type in Vietnam. Initiated by Dr Dilshaad Ali, the founder and President of TMMC Healthcare, TMMC Cancer Center was established with the purpose to provide accessibility to oncology treatment for Vietnamese patients. The center is a private healthcare project initiative between Vietnam and Japan.[1] [2]
Cancer is among the leading causes of death in Vietnam.[3]
Yearly, the center organizes tens of public seminars to raise awareness about breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer across the country. It is also the first private institute in Vietnam advocating for the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month of WHO through a nationwide seminar and free screening tests for tens of thousands of patients. In 2014, TMMC Cancer was invested in by the Japanese Sojitz Corporation [4] and its medical partner, Capita Medica, to develop a strategic Center of Excellence.[5] [6] The project was initiated by Dr. Dilshaad Ali, founding President and Group Chief Executive Director, and Tran Quoc Bao, the Group Business Development Director.[7] [8]
Since 2014, the center has opened admissions for Elective (medical) and fellowship programs.
