After touring the DTU campuses, Professor Cuong, said: “Over 20 years of development, DTU has become the first and largest private university in the Central Region of Vietnam. With its modern facilities and highly-qualified staff, DTU has made remarkable progress in educational development and innovation, which has brought them much success. I am very happy to see my old teachers, Mr. Le Van Truyen, former Deputy Minister of Health, and Professor Le Duc Hinh, former President of the Vietnam Mental Health Association. Recently, the market economy has focused more on medical care and the community has paid more attention to medical ethics. We should now focus on the remaining issues. Resolution No. 8, concerning the comprehensive innovation in education and training, especially in the health industry, will help improve teaching methods. Quality-based training improves the supply of better-qualified doctors and nurses.”

As the first private university in the Central Region, DTU has made steady progress in education and training and achieved the recognition of our community. Over those past twenty years, DTU has built a sound foundation. Over the next twenty, our future development will depend on the dedication and hard work of all our DTU staff and lecturers. The DTU Faculties of Medicine and Pharmacy are newly-established, so we hope to receive the support and guidance from local government to develop and supply highly-trained workers for the community.”
