New Zealand-based hospital information systems provider Amalga has officially established its enterprise in Vietnam, in what the company calls a “major milestone” in its more than two decades of supporting digital transformation across South East Asia – particularly in Vietnamese hospitals.
Amalga CEO Niru Rajakumar said the expansion reinforced its long-term commitment to becoming a strategic technology partner for Vietnam’s healthcare sector.
“Vietnam is advancing a clear digital-health vision and the rapid modernisation across its hospitals reflects that momentum. By establishing our licensed entity here, we commit to supporting this national direction-building solutions for Vietnam – keeping data in Vietnam and ensuring full accountability in how we enable long-term healthcare modernisation.”
The move aligns with the Vietnam Ministry of Health’s Healthcare Digital Transformation Strategy for 2025-2030, which prioritises strengthening digital institutions, building national data infrastructure, enhancing digital capabilities, deploying core digital platforms and ensuring system-wide security.
The strategy aims to improve citizens’ access to healthcare services while elevating management capabilities across public and private systems.
“Amalga’s expansion into Vietnam underscores the growing cooperation between New Zealand and Vietnam in healthcare and innovation,” said New Zealand’s Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City Scott James.
“As Vietnam accelerates its digital-health agenda, New Zealand companies like Amalga are well positioned to contribute meaningful expertise and technology to support the country’s healthcare system and its people.”
Amalga has served as FV Hospital’s information systems provider since its founding and is currently the technology partner for Sun Hospital’s major projects in Hanoi and Phu Quoc.
AI-driven applications form the core of Amalga’s ecosystem – enabling unified management of patient records and clinical data, while clinical support tools help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions. System safety and data security are ensured through synchronous digital infrastructure, supporting Sun Hospital’s vision of smart healthcare.
Vice Chairman of Sun Group Nguyen Chi Thanh said Amalga was “a strategic partner helping us make breakthroughs in healthcare innovation. The combination of Vietnamese vision and New Zealand’s technological capabilities is laying the foundation for a national-scale smart hospital network centered around patients and people.”
Amalga’s hospital information system is built on a modular and multi-tenant architecture that supports easy integration and scalability. The solution complies with international HL7/FHIR standards, noted as “critical for interoperability across hospitals, insurance systems, electronic health records and state management platforms.”
Amalga offers two deployment models – cloud-native infrastructure and on-premise hospital systems – allowing healthcare providers to choose digital solutions that match their security requirements and operational scale as they modernise their services.
The Vietnam-tailored version integrates social insurance workflows, applies AI to optimise clinical and administrative processes and enhances data interoperability. Amalga said its Vietnam team managed end-to-end deployment and was “deeply familiar with local language, culture and hospital operations.”
The company was partnering with Axel Health to implement an “operations-first deployment approach,” focusing on workflow optimisation and hospital readiness to help facilities improve efficiency and sustain long-term operational gains.
