In recent years, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become a vital solution helping tens of thousands of Vietnamese couples realize their dream of parenthood.

The journey of pregnancy is a sacred experience, one filled with unique emotions for every mother. It is the overwhelming joy of discovering the presence of a beloved baby, the day-by-day anticipation of feeling those first tiny movements, and at the same time, countless questions and concerns about health, nutrition, labor, and newborn care.

Over two days, November 9–10, 2025, at the National Convention Center, the 25th French–Vietnamese Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2025 jointly organized by the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology (NHOG) and the French National College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF)—was held with remarkable success. The congress welcomed more than 1,500 delegates, including leading experts, physicians, scientists, and research institutions from Vietnam and abroad. This prestigious scientific event marked over 25 years of strong and enduring collaboration between Vietnam and France in obstetrics and gynecology, reproductive health, and maternal and child care.

The demand for reproductive healthcare is rising, and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) continue to advance rapidly. As a result, specialized scientific conferences play a crucial role in updating knowledge, strengthening professional networks, and improving treatment outcomes. The HASAM 2025 Annual Scientific Conference once again affirms its position as one of the most reputable professional events in Vietnam in the field of infertility and reproductive medicine.

On November 28, the expert delegation from EUROFINS GENTIS, including Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh (Director of the Genetic Counseling Center) and Dr. Pham Dinh Minh (Director of R&D), held a technical working session at Dong Do Hospital with the participation of the hospital’s reproductive medicine (IVF) team. This collaborative activity between EUROFINS GENTIS and Dong Do Hospital aimed to update the latest advances in genetic testing, thereby improving treatment outcomes for families struggling with infertility. The session not only facilitated academic exchange but also opened up new directions for long-term cooperation in the future.

In medicine, research on sex abnormalities in both males and females has produced many scientific publications based on different research and testing methods, not only after birth but even during pregnancy.

Over the years, infertility has become one of the major concerns of modern medicine. Statistics show that as many as 12.6% of couples worldwide face difficulties in conceiving. The causes may stem from the husband, the wife, both partners, or in some cases cannot be clearly identified. However, alongside advances in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), particularly the groundbreaking applications of genetics, the journey to parenthood for infertile couples is now more hopeful than ever.
