Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Phượng, at the age of 82, is a renowned Vietnamese obstetrician and gynecologist, celebrated for her pioneering work in in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Vietnam. As the former director of Từ Dũ Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, she dedicated over 60 years to the field of obstetrics and has played a crucial role in advancing reproductive health care in the country.
