MICS focuses on children and women in the fields of nutrition, health care, clean water, sanitation, education as well as their capacity of protecting themselves from HIV/AIDS and domestic violence.
The survey finds in Việt Nam, 95% of children under five have been registered at their birth.
As many as 40.1% of children from one to two have been fully immunized. Almost females from 15 to 49 have received health care at least once before giving birth.
Almost women from 15-24 have learnt about HIV transmission, accounting for 96.5% and one out of three have undergone HIV tests.
