Vietnam Approves Integrated Military, Civilian Medical Program

Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam has approved an integrated military and civilian medical program for public health to 2030.

Among its objectives, this program looks to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment at integrated military and civilian medical establishments, especially those in remote, border, coastal and insular areas.

At grassroots level, it aims to assist infrastructure and equipment upgrades for 30 - 50 establishments of this type.

About 5,000 - 10,000 medical workers are set to receive training while more than 200,000 residents in remote, border, coastal, insular and disaster-prone areas will benefit from check-ups and treatment under the program.

In addition, the program also includes targets on support for the reserve forces in the health sector. (VietnamPlus)
