Military Hospital 175 is the central hospital for the south region of the ministry of defense, located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was founded in 1975 by unifying a few military medical divisions and units, most notably K116, K72, and K59, initially to serve veterans and military officers after the Vietnam War. Over the years, it has been slowly opened to the general public and now also acts as a district hospital as well as a trauma center for the civilians.
