Originated from a center for training and educating of healthcare staff in Ho Chi Minh City, Pham Ngoc Thanh University of Medicine was directed by the city council to operate as a university for the city. Unlike Ho Chi Minh City Medicine and Pharmacy University, it only allowed Ho Chi Minh citizens who had city hukous (household registers) to attend. However, in 2016, this requirement was removed and people from other provinces can attend.
