Some people say that student life is the most memorable time in our life while many people can’t truly enjoy their life at university with full of joys with their friends and handy lectures as expected.

[GLN EC NTD] Topic 13/10: Vietnam's Health Care System

The health system in Vietnam is a mixed public-private provider system, in which the public system still plays a key role in health care, especially in prevention, research and training. Recently, health care is strengthened by national health programs, especially those for important public health problems. However, there have still been lots of pressing issues existing in the Vietnam’s healthcare system, such as quality of healthcare service, qualification of doctors and nurse and healthcare staff training as well, which immediately need improving. This Saturday afternoon, a meeting discussing the Vietnam’s healthcare system will be held. Let’s come and join us to raise more ideas about this field.

For further information, let’s look through the following outline:
