The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health also approved AIH's program as a "practical guidance facility for nursing, midwifery, and medical laboratory technician roles." AIH is the 9th hospital in the city and the first private hospital qualified to implement this program for medical laboratory technicians.

AIH plans to expand practical guidance programs for other professional roles in the future. This initiative will help meet the increasing human resource demands of the healthcare system and contribute to the sustainable development of Vietnam's medical sector.
