Vietnam Introduces New Healthcare Policy to Improve Public Health Services

The Ministry of Health of Vietnam has recently announced a comprehensive new healthcare policy aimed at enhancing the quality of public health services across the country. This policy focuses on several key areas, including increased investment in grassroots medical institutions, the establishment of telemedicine services, and the integration of technology into healthcare delivery.

In a press conference, the Minister of Health emphasized the importance of expanding healthcare access, particularly in rural and remote areas where medical facilities are often lacking. As part of this initiative, the government plans to allocate additional funding to upgrade existing health clinics and hospitals, ensuring they are equipped with modern medical equipment and staffed with well-trained professionals. There will also be a strong emphasis on preventative care, with campaigns to promote healthy lifestyles and regular health check-ups.

The Ministry aims to address disparities in healthcare access and outcomes across different regions, ensuring that every citizen has the right to quality medical care. This policy is part of a broader strategy to improve public health in Vietnam and to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
