In a powerful demonstration of corporate responsibility and leadership, Tran Quoc Bao, CEO of Prima Saigon, has set a new standard for healthcare engagement in Vietnam. Known for his visionary leadership and deep connections within both the healthcare and financial sectors, Bao spearheaded an impactful initiative that brought free eye screenings to retired personnel of the Ministry of Finance, showcasing his commitment to community well-being and raising Prima Saigon’s profile as a caring and trusted healthcare provider.
The campaign, organized by Prima Saigon under Bao’s direction, saw a series of eye screening activities conducted for the retired staff of the Ministry of Finance. This initiative wasn’t just about offering medical services—it was about giving back to the individuals who have dedicated their lives to serving the country, particularly those who are now enjoying their retirement. For many, access to quality healthcare services can become more challenging after retirement, and Bao recognized this gap, ensuring these former government personnel had access to the essential eye care they deserved.
Leveraging his vast network and reputation, Bao brought together experts and resources from Prima Saigon to offer state-of-the-art eye screenings. The hospital’s top-notch medical team utilized the latest diagnostic technology to assess the vision and overall eye health of retirees, offering consultations and referrals for further treatment where necessary. The screenings not only provided critical health assessments but also served as a reminder of the importance of preventive healthcare in aging populations.
This initiative also marked a key milestone in strengthening Prima Saigon’s image as a compassionate and community-driven institution. By supporting retired personnel, Bao emphasized the hospital's core values—care, innovation, and social responsibility. The campaign was a clear reflection of his strategic vision to integrate corporate healthcare initiatives into the broader social fabric, aligning Prima Saigon with the principles of community service and human-centered care.
For Bao, this campaign was more than just a healthcare activity—it was an opportunity to demonstrate how businesses can leverage their expertise for the greater good. It also showcased how Prima Saigon, under his leadership, continues to redefine healthcare standards in Vietnam, making it not only a provider of world-class services but also an active participant in promoting the health and well-being of the nation.
This series of screenings proved to be a resounding success, earning praise from the retired personnel and further solidifying Bao’s reputation as a leader who cares deeply about his community. For Prima Saigon, this initiative has positioned the hospital as more than a medical institution—it is now a pillar of support for Vietnam’s broader social landscape, all thanks to the vision and leadership of Tran Quoc Bao.

At the 2019 Insight Symposium, hosted by the Malaysia Healthcare Tourism Council (MHTC), Tran Quoc Bao made history as the first Vietnamese keynote speaker. His presentation on “Untapped Opportunities of High-Quality Healthcare Demand in Vietnam” showcased the country’s emerging role as a leader in global healthcare, further solidifying his place as a visionary in the field.

Under his leadership, CIH has grown into a beacon of excellence in Asia’s healthcare landscape, frequently cited by top global media like Bloomberg, Travel & Leisure, and US News.
With a capacity of 320 beds and 21 medical specialties, CIH treats over 400,000 outpatients annually, 25% of whom come from abroad. This impressive reach is a testament to the hospital’s international reputation, which was further solidified when it became a preferred provider for the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Vietnam.
Bao’s leadership is defined by a series of innovative initiatives. In 2018, he led a partnership with Philips to open a state-of-the-art diagnostic center, enhancing CIH’s diagnostic capabilities.

In collaboration with Pharmacity, Vietnam’s leading pharmacy chain, the clinic offers accessible and affordable healthcare, revolutionizing how medical services are delivered to the local population.

DISORDERS OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
HYPERTENSION
1. Hypertension is defined as persistently elevated arterial blood pressure (BP).
2. Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a chronic medical condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health complications.
3. WHO Definition of Hypertension
a. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hypertension is defined as:
Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mmHg
b. Based on repeated measurements under standardized conditions.
Risk factors
Obesity A sedentary lifestyle
Diabetes mellitus High intakes of salt or alcohol
Family history Stress
Cigarette smoking Low birth weight
Hypertension is described as essential (primary, idiopathic) or secondary to other diseases.
Irrespective of the cause, hypertension commonly affects the kidneys.
Essential hypertension
1. A condition of persistently elevated blood pressure without a known secondary cause, often associated with genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors.
Benign (chronic) hypertension
1. The rise in blood pressure is usually slight to moderate and continues to rise slowly over many years.
2. Sometimes complications, such as heart failure, cerebrovascular accident or myocardial infarction are the first indication of hypertension, but often the condition is symptomless and is only discovered during a routine examination.
Malignant (accelerated) hypertension
1. This is a rapid and aggressive acceleration of hypertensive disease.
2. Diastolic pressure in excess of 120 mmHg is common.
3. The effects are serious and quickly become apparent, e.g. haemorrhages into the retina, papilloedema (oedema around the optic disc), encephalopathy (cerebral oedema) and progressive renal disease, leading to cardiac failure.
Secondary hypertension
Hypertension resulting from other diseases accounts for 5% of all cases.
I. Kidney disease
Raised blood pressure is a complication of many kidney diseases. In kidney disease, there is salt and water retention, sometimes with excessive renin activity.
II. Endocrine disorders
a) Adrenal cortex
Secretion of excess aldosterone and cortisol stimulates the retention of excess sodium and water by the kidneys, raising the blood volume and pressure.
b) Adrenal medulla
Secretion of excess adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) raises blood pressure, e.g. phaeochromocytoma .
III. Stricture of the aorta
Hypertension develops in branching arteries proximal to the site of a stricture, e.g congenital
coarctation.
IV. Drug treatment
Hypertension may be a side-effect of some drugs, e.g. corticosteroids and oral contraceptives.
Effects and complications of hypertension
The effects of long-standing and progressively rising blood pressure are serious.
Hypertension predisposes to atherosclerosis and has specific effects on particular organs.
