On 13 & 14 March 2026, FV Hospital is honoured to be the hosting unit for the 3rd Annual Scientific Conference of the Ho Chi Minh City Radiation Therapy Technologists Association (HRTTA). The conference is expected to gather a team of experts and speakers from leading hospitals in Vietnam and international experts from France, Japan, Thailand, Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.
The theme of this year’s conference is “A Multidisciplinary Approach to Radiotherapy and Motion Management in Thoracic and Abdominal Radiotherapy”. This event is an opportunity to connect and strengthen cooperation between Radiation Oncologists, Medical Physicists, and Radiation Therapists—members of the team treating cancer patients.
Beside FV is honored to offer a Pre-conference practical program to share the FV’s long experience in motion management radiotherapy. This a rare opportunity to enhance professional capacity in advance cancer treatment.
Colleagues who fully participate in the program will receive a CME (Continuing Medical Education) certificate issued by the Ho Chi Minh City Medical Association.
