“Thanks to the stem cell transplant at Vinmec, I feel like I’ve been reborn.”

Stem cell transplant therapy is considered a new hope for patients with serious illnesses. Vinmec is a pioneering medical unit that brings global advancements in genetics and stem cells into clinical practice in Vietnam, giving thousands of patients with fatal disease the chance to live healthier lives. The case of patient Bui Thi Mui is a typical example, as her four years with partial paralysis ended thanks to a stem cell transplant.

Mrs. Bùi Thị Mùi had an accident 4 years ago, resulting in paralysis of both legs and one leg is completely numb due to thoracic vertebrae injury and spinal cord damage. She also lost control over her bladder and bowel movements and needed assistance from her family.


After undergoing three stem cell transplants performed by Professor, Doctor Nguyen Thanh Liem at the Center for Regenerative Medicine and Cell Therapy - Vinmec Times City International Hospital, Mrs. Mui had made significant progress. She can now sit up and stand on her own legs - which for her feels like being ‘reborn’."

Below is a Thank you message from Mrs. Bui Thi Mui to the medical team at Vinmec Times City, especially to Doctor Nguyen Thanh Liem, who directly examined and performed the stem cell transplant therapy:


Thank You Message: 


"I am Bui Thi Mui  from Hanh Cu, Thanh Ba (Phu Tho).
I sincerely thank the Thien Tam Fund, Professor, Doctor Nguyễn Thanh Liêm, and all the doctors and nurses at the Center for Regenerative Medicine and Cell Therapy - Vinmec Times City International Hospital for supporting my treatment costs and taking care of me from the moment I was admitted until I was discharged, leaving a beautiful impression on me.


I had an accident 4 years ago, resulting in paralysis of both legs. One leg is completely numb and weak due to thoracic vertebrae injury and spinal cord damage, making it impossible for me to sit up. My hope for life seemed extinguished. But one day, Professor Nguyen Thanh Liem invited me for an examination and supported me with a stem cell transplant.


After two transplants, I was able to sit up on my own. With my husband’s support, I practiced standing on my own legs, even if only for 30 minutes, but it felt like being reborn. Just that much made me happy. I have just undergone my third transplant at Vinmec.


Once again, I sincerely thank Vinmec Hospital. I wish the doctors at Vinmec good health so they can help patients like me access stem cell therapy."


Bui Thị Mui.
