History
Cancer is among the key contributors to the mortality of Vietnamese.[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 nation-wide 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, Group Business Development Director,[7][8]
