Phoenix Medical Quarter collaborates with Barrow Neurological Institute to integrate global medical research community.
Park Central and the Phoenix Medical Quarter are collaborating with leading neurologists from Vietnam and the Barrow Neurological Institute.
The educational collaboration with the McCain Institute signifies a new era of international cooperation in the medical field led by Dr. Pham Quang Tho and Dr. Nguyen Minh Anh, who are at Barrow for the next month as part of this exchange.
The Barrow Neurological Institute has an active role at Park Central and the Phoenix Medical Quarter, as representatives tell the Digital Free Press, the collaboration offers the ideal platform for fostering international ties with the global medical community.
“This program is the direct result of the McCain Institute’s meetings in Vietnam, where we explored how to integrate cutting-edge medical practices from Arizona with the remarkable progress being made in Vietnam,” said Sharon Harper, chairman and CEO of Plaza Companies, in a prepared statement.
“Barrow’s work is truly international, and this partnership reflects our commitment to sharing expertise and fostering innovation globally.”
The official welcome event took place on last month at the Creighton University Health Sciences Campus, where members of the medical community and diplomatic representatives celebrated this milestone in U.S.-Vietnam medical cooperation.
“Barrow Neurological Institute is proud to be the host organization for stroke physicians from the Bach Mai National Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam,” said Dr. Huiam Mubarak, director of the Barrow Global Neurology Program. “This visit aligns with Barrow Global’s mission to provide a learning environment to improve the neuroscience health care of underserved populations across the globe. We aim to inspire neuroscience physicians and surgeons, advanced practice nurses, scientists and students by making world-class education and training accessible.”
The Barrow Neuro Analytics Center, located at the Park Central property in the Phoenix Medical Quarter, comprises a 10,099 square-foot dry laboratory housing 10 principal research investigators and their dedicated teams.
“For years, we have worked to position Phoenix as a leader in bioscience and healthcare innovation, and it is incredibly rewarding to see results that span the globe,” Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said. “We are thrilled to host physicians from Vietnam in the heart of Phoenix and look forward to the many benefits of this new partnership.”
