Viet Nam is implementing the national strategy to protect, care, and improve public health during 2011-2020, with a vision to 2030 with the aim of guaranteeing that all will enjoy primary health care services and increase their access to high-quality ones.
The Vietnamese Government has encouraged the participation of various sectors in the development of the health sector in recent years, he added.
