The Manchester Reds chose Tam Anh General Hospital for its cutting-edge facilities and top medical experts, particularly its Sports Medicine Center, which specializes in evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation for professional athletes. The center performs advanced procedures like autologous/artificial ligament reconstruction using world-class techniques and equipment, supported by rapid diagnostic technologies including 3T MRI, 1975-slice CT scanner, surgical robots and premium resuscitation devices, ensuring players' confidence when competing in Vietnam.
