Vietnam’s hosting of the 63 rd session of the WHO Regional Committee for the Western Pacific will help bring cooperation in healthcare between Vietnam and WHO and between Vietnam and other countries and territories in the Western Pacific to a new height, said the deputy PM.

The initiative to host the forum on medical insurance within the framework of this meeting reflects Vietnam’s commitment in the field, he affirmed.
