Anesthesiology and critical care medicine is an essential part of modern surgical treatment. Advances in anesthesia have made complex procedures safer and more effective, while modern pain management techniques play a vital role in enhancing patient comfort and quality of life.
The anesthesiology team at Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital includes highly experienced physicians, many of whom previously worked at national-level hospitals such as Cho Ray Hospital and the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City.
