A health programme officially got underway in Hanoi on June 28, with
the European Union (EU) and the World Health Organisation (WHO)
supporting Vietnam ’s Ministry of Health.
The
programme ‘Policy Dialogue’ will help Vietnam to enhance its ability
to evaluate plans, strategies and national policies when expanding
medical services across the country.
The programme
will also use the ability and experience of the WHO, as it will chair
the project to provide Vietnam with the best technical solutions
available.
Vietnam was one of seven countries
selected by EU to join the WTO’s health programme because of the recent
achievements the country has made in the medical field.
Over the years, the EU has contributed significantly to health care
services in Vietnam , spending over 70 million euros on health care
services in the country. This latest programme will run for three years.-VNA
