This milestone marks a significant advancement in the nation’s allergy and clinical immunology, aligning Vietnamese healthcare with international standards. Vinmec Times City’s Immunology – Allergy Center named WAO Center of Excellence WAO is a preeminent medical institution in the field of allergy and clinical immunology, comprising 115 national and regional member societies across six continents. The WAO COE are distinguished medical facilities recognized for their outstanding achievements in medical practices, education, research, innovation, and international influences. Following a rigorous multi-stage assessment process — including credentials review, scientific evidence review, and examination of on-site operational capability — Vinmec’s Allergy and Clinical Immunology Center met WAO’s stringent criteria to earn the COE designation. This international recognition not only affirms Vinmec’s expertise in the field but also grants the Center prioritized access to international research collaborations, advanced training and clinical trials, and state-of-the-art treatment modalities through WAO and its global network of leading academic partners. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Dinh, Director of the Clinical Allergy and Immunology Center at Vinmec, commented: “Being recognized as a WAO Center of Excellence is a landmark achievement for Vietnam’s allergy and clinical immunology.

It also gives our health professionals an opportunity to receive training and capacity building by world-renowned experts, thus delivering the most optimized and personalized treatments that ensure the safety of patients”. Prior to the CoE recognition by WAO, Vinmec’s Allergy and Clinical Immunology Center had been the first medical facility in Vietnam to receive dual recognitions in specialized allergy care, including: ADCARE (Atopic Dermatitis Centers of Reference and Excellence) and UCARE (Urticaria Centers of Reference and Excellence). Vinmec’s Allergy and Clinical Immunology Center is also the first and only healthcare provider in Vietnam licensed by the Ministry of Health to deploy biologic therapies and advanced immunological treatments for severe chronic allergic and immunological disorders — such as bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, chronic urticaria, allergic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and prurigo nodularis.

Today, the city continues to lead with its modern industrial clusters, blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to excel in sectors ranging from textiles to advanced manufacturing. Wuxi, a city in E China, effortlessly weaves together the tapestries of history and modernity Wuxi’s waterways and landscapes have long inspired artistic expression, from traditional Wu songs and Xiju opera to modern innovations in painting and music. These cultural threads, woven through generations, reflect the poetic spirit of Jiangnan and connect the city’s past with its present. Education and intellect have also been central to Wuxi’s identity. Since the founding of Donglin Academy in the 11th century, the city has been a hub for practical learning and critical thought. This tradition continued into the modern era, as industrialists invested in education, fostering institutions that produced leaders in science, arts, and economics. Wuxi’s thinkers and scholars have consistently bridged tradition and progress, shaping China’s economic and intellectual landscape. As “A Touch of Wuxi” reaches international audiences, it reveals a city where history and modernity coexist seamlessly.
