Insights from Organizers
Dr. Nguyen Anh Tu, Director of the Hanoi Center for Sexual Medicine – AF HANOI, shared the motivation behind organizing this conference: “During our clinical work, we’ve noticed that many couples not only struggle with infertility but also face challenges in their sexual relationships. Unlike reproductive health, which is more openly discussed, female sexual health remains a sensitive and under-addressed topic—especially in the cultural context of East Asian countries like Vietnam. Many women experiencing sexual health issues don’t know where to seek help, or silently endure psychological stress without knowing who to turn to. That’s why we hope this conference becomes a forum where specialists from across the country can exchange ideas, share experiences, and update the latest knowledge in women’s sexual health care. As a center specialized in sexual medicine, we also aim to contribute practical insights from our clinical experience to make the conference more applicable. Moreover, it is an opportunity to connect experts from the North, Central, and South regions to form a robust collaborative network. This will enable us to offer more comprehensive, modern, and reliable approaches, giving patients better access to proper care tailored to their needs.”
Challenges in Female Sexual Health in Vietnam
According to Dr. Nguyen Anh Tu, one of the major challenges in addressing women's sexual health in Vietnam is the lack of awareness among patients themselves. Many women face difficulties finding suitable clinics or don’t know how to voice their concerns or share their private issues.
In addition, sexual medicine is still a relatively new field—not only in Vietnam but globally. In current medical training programs, this topic is not yet thoroughly covered. However, worldwide trends show increasing attention to this field, with the emergence of professional organizations such as:
- International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM)
- International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH)
- International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD)
- Vietnam Society for Sexual Medicine (VSSM)
These organizations serve as respected platforms for doctors and experts to collaborate, research, and stay updated with specialized knowledge.

CAP – The Gold Standard of International Quality for Genetic Testing Laboratories
According to Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh – Director of GENTIS Testing Center – the CAP accreditation is one of the most rigorous and comprehensive laboratory quality control standards in the world. Unlike ISO 15189, the Vietnamese standard – which can be granted for just one test in a lab – CAP requires all tests performed in the laboratory to be periodically validated and monitored by international experts. Every aspect, from software systems and equipment to each step performed by technicians, must comply with strict standards.
This ensures that test results from CAP-accredited laboratories like GENTIS are not only accurate, safe, and secure but also recognized globally – expanding the lab’s service capabilities beyond national borders to reach international markets.
In the field of assisted reproduction, Dr. Nguyen Minh Duc – Head of the Assisted Reproduction Laboratory at Hanoi Hospital of Andrology and Infertility – emphasizes the critical importance of accuracy in techniques such as PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) and NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing). For IVF cases requiring PGT, seamless coordination between the Embryology Lab and the Genetics Lab is essential. He noted: “Currently, the rate of inconclusive results in genetic testing is just 1–2%. This is extremely positive because even a 1% improvement can bring hope to thousands of families struggling with infertility.”
What makes the difference is GENTIS's fully integrated testing system, which strictly controls every step: from sample collection and transportation to testing and result reporting. All processes follow CAP-standard protocols, ensuring maximum reliability for clinicians when making treatment decisions.
In Vietnam, although testing technologies are approaching international standards, the human factor still plays a significant role in laboratory operations. Dr. Vinh shared that CAP enforces special monitoring protocols at critical control points where errors are most likely to occur, helping to minimize risks. Each sample is tracked throughout its entire journey using specialized software, while equipment and technicians must strictly adhere to protocols. Results are only released once all CAP criteria are met.
CAP – Enhancing Collaboration Between Genetic and IVF Laboratories
One of the standout advantages agreed upon by both experts is that CAP accreditation improves collaboration between labs, particularly between Embryology Labs and Genetic Labs. According to Dr. Đức, embryology labs operate according to the embryo’s developmental timeline, so the handover and processing of samples must follow a standardized and tightly coordinated workflow. Addressing the timing and personnel challenges faced by embryology labs, Dr. Vinh added: “The GENTIS lab operates 24/7, ready and flexible to handle any situation to ensure that samples are not delayed or disrupted – a crucial factor in IVF.”

With nearly 60 scientific presentations, the conference offered valuable professional insights, ranging from updates in diagnostics and treatment to the growing trend of applying advancements in genetics and precision medicine. [content] =>As part of the conference, GENTIS was honored to accompany two notable presentations by Dr. Nguyen Van Thong, MD (Head of the Department of Medical Genetics, Hung Vuong Hospital), and Dr. Nguyen Huu Trung, MD, PhD (Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Medical Center HCMC). These presentations demonstrated GENTIS’s pioneering role in the research and development of applied genetic testing in Vietnam.
PGT-UPGRADE Test: Detecting Embryos with Balanced Translocations
Dr. Nguyen Van Thong presented on the topic: “PGT UPGRADE Testing: Detecting Embryos with Balanced Translocations.” His report focused on a challenge frequently encountered by couples undergoing infertility treatment or those with recurrent miscarriages—the presence of balanced translocations in the genome of one partner.
Balanced translocations are genetic abnormalities in which DNA segments are exchanged between non-homologous chromosomes, without any gain or loss of genetic material at the breakpoints. Carriers of balanced translocations often show no symptoms, but are at high risk of producing embryos with chromosomal abnormalities or non-viable embryos. This can result in miscarriage, stillbirth, or the birth of a child with serious genetic conditions. Therefore, detecting and screening embryos carrying balanced translocations is a crucial step in assisted reproductive treatment.
To address this issue, GENTIS has successfully developed the PGT-UPGRADE test, marking a new advancement in preimplantation genetic diagnosis. This technique allows for the identification of embryos carrying the same balanced translocations as the parent, thereby eliminating the risk of passing on reproductive issues to the next generation. As a result, doctors can select healthy embryos with no genetic risks, increasing implantation rates and offering couples a safer pregnancy journey. This is particularly significant for cases with a history of recurrent miscarriage, unexplained fetal loss, or repeated IVF failure.
With high accuracy and an optimized workflow, PGT-UPGRADE not only brings clinical benefits but also helps save time, reduce costs, and ease emotional burdens for patients. This is a major step by GENTIS in transferring advanced technologies into clinical practice, contributing to the sustainable development of reproductive support in Vietnam.
From Expanded Carrier Screening (ECS) to PGT-M: Preventing Rare Genetic Diseases
Alongside this, the presentation by Dr. Nguyen Huu Trung titled “From Expanded Carrier Screening (ECS) to PGT-M – A Strategy to Prevent Rare Genetic Diseases in Vietnam” offered a broader perspective on controlling inherited disorders at their root.
In the context of rising numbers of monogenic diseases and the high cost of treatment, early identification of genetic risks and proactive intervention before pregnancy has become an urgent necessity in modern medicine.
According to Dr. Trung, Expanded Carrier Screening (ECS) can screen for hundreds of genetic disorders in both men and women, helping identify couples who are carriers of the same recessive genetic mutation. If both partners carry the same disease-causing gene, their children have up to a 25% chance of being affected. In such cases, the optimal solution is to use in vitro fertilization (IVF) combined with PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic disorders) to screen and select embryos free of the disease-causing genes. This represents a shift from “risk detection” to “proactive prevention”—a strategic direction in preventing rare genetic diseases.
GENTIS is one of the pioneers in deploying and optimizing PGT-M testing panels in Vietnam. With a system that includes more than 100 monogenic diseases—covering both common and rare conditions such as Thalassemia, cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), metabolic disorders, Rett syndrome, and more—GENTIS ensures not only broad test coverage but also high accuracy and rapid turnaround times.
This is made possible through the development of a standardized gene database, a synchronized lab system, and a team of highly trained professionals. In addition, GENTIS places strong emphasis on pre- and post-test genetic counseling, helping patients fully understand their results and make informed decisions based on their family circumstances and reproductive goals.
Genetic Testing – A Practical Tool in Modern Clinical Practice
Both presentations shared an important common message: genetic testing is no longer a distant tool reserved for research or major medical centers, but is increasingly becoming an essential part of modern clinical practice. Thanks to the collaboration between leading experts and applied research units like GENTIS, complex genetic medicine techniques are now more accessible, sustainable, and effective for patients than ever before.
GENTIS's presence at the 10th Can Tho Obstetrics and Gynecology Conference was not merely that of a sponsor, but a clear demonstration of its long-term commitment to improving reproductive healthcare quality in Vietnam. Looking forward, GENTIS aims to continue developing modern genetic solutions, aligned with the mission of “early diagnosis – proactive prevention – healthy babies,” and will continue to work hand-in-hand with the medical community to build a better future for the next generations.

Especially with the rapid development of biotechnology and personalized medicine, laboratories are expected not only to perform accurately but also to meet international standards in performance, equipment, processes, and data security. [content] =>To further clarify this concept, we had a discussion with Dr. Nguyễn Quang Vinh, Director of GENTIS Testing Center, an expert with over 15 years of pioneering experience in building, operating, and optimizing laboratory systems in Vietnam.
- Dr. Vinh, could you share your perspective on the concept of Total Quality Management in laboratories?
Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh: Total Quality Management (TQM) in laboratories is not simply about controlling the quality of test results. It is a holistic management system that encompasses people, processes, technologies, equipment, and especially aspects related to safety, data security, and continuous improvement.
This system is not solely technical but is built on a customer-centric philosophy, with the ultimate goal of ensuring test results that are accurate, timely, and reliable, effectively serving both patients and treating physicians.
Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh (Director of GENTIS Testing Center)
The entire system involves participation from all staff—technicians, doctors, administrative personnel, and the management team. Every individual plays a role in maintaining quality and improving performance.
Such a system requires the integration of multiple international quality management standards—not just a single tool or framework. This creates a complex but necessary network to ensure accuracy, biosafety, reliability, and transparent traceability in every operation.
- In your opinion, what standards are essential for building a comprehensive quality management system in laboratories?
Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh: Comprehensive quality management in laboratories is complex. It requires modern management tools and the integration of multiple standards to create a strong and sustainable system.
First is ISO 9001:2015, a general quality management framework that helps organize operations, control processes, and support continuous improvement.
For labs with advanced equipment, ISO 13485:2016 (for medical device quality management) is essential. It ensures that equipment is not only modern but also safe and effective in operation.
Next is ISO 15189:2022, an international standard that has been recommended and widely adopted by Vietnam’s Ministry of Health. It focuses on technical competence and quality in medical laboratories.
Equally important is ISO 27001:2022, which governs information security and data management—especially relevant as AI and digital technologies become deeply embedded in lab operations.
And finally, we must mention CAP (College of American Pathologists), a highly respected standard from the U.S. for laboratories worldwide. CAP has stringent requirements for performance, quality assurance, internal and external audits.
In my view, these standards must be skillfully, flexibly, and coherently integrated. Meeting each one in isolation without a unified system cannot be considered “comprehensive.”
- To meet international standards, what should Vietnamese laboratories do, Dr. Vinh?
Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh: First and foremost, adopt a systematic mindset. Quality management should not be seen as a checklist of tasks, but as a continuous, integrated operational flow.
Next is serious investment in equipment, infrastructure, personnel, technology, and processes. Laboratories must be bold enough to adopt challenging standards such as CAP and ISO 15189:2022, which will elevate their capabilities.
And most importantly, it takes patience and long-term commitment. It took GENTIS many years to build our current system, which integrates CAP, ISO 15189:2022, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 13485:2016, and ISO 9001:2015. But in return, we’ve earned trust—from experts, partners both domestic and international, and most importantly, from our patients.
- What are the biggest challenges in building a total quality management system in Vietnam?
Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh: The biggest challenge is the long-term investment mindset. Quality management is not a cost—it is a value. However, many organizations hesitate because they see adopting multiple standards as expensive or only suitable for large laboratories. Some build a system but fail to maintain it.
Another challenge is the availability of specialized human resources. Implementing international standards requires well-trained personnel with the capacity to operate and continuously improve the system—not just “meet the minimum” and stop there.
Lastly, technology and data. As medical information becomes increasingly digital, managing data, synchronizing processes, ensuring information security, and integrating systems is mandatory, not optional.
- With 15 years of experience in the field, what advice would you give to organizations aiming to upgrade their lab quality management systems?
Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh: My advice is to build a multi-tiered quality management system, where international standards are not treated as final goals, but as tools to be flexibly integrated into practical operations. This not only enhances credibility but also lays a solid foundation for sustainable international integration.
To achieve this, I believe in focusing on several core principles:
- Strong leadership commitment – This is the most critical foundation for achieving consensus and maintaining motivation across the entire system.
- Synchronized integration of international standards, including CAP (stringent U.S. standards for laboratories), ISO 15189 (medical lab competency), ISO 13485 (medical device management), ISO 27001 (information security), and ISO 9001 (quality improvement and customer satisfaction).
- Continuous staff training – Not just for technical updates, but to develop a mindset of improvement and a deep awareness of quality in every role.
- Standardized operational processes – Processes must be clear, executable, auditable, and capable of flexible improvement.
- Regular internal assessments – An effective tool to detect errors early, make timely corrections, and sustain system efficiency.
- A culture of quality – Most importantly, making “quality” a habit and a core value across all activities, from technicians and doctors to administrative and support teams.
An effective quality management system cannot be built overnight. But with the right direction and long-term commitment, it can not only enhance operational efficiency, but also help build trust among customers and professional partners at home and abroad.
- Thank you, Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh, for your practical and insightful sharing!
