Hanoi (VNS/VNA) – Local and international health policymaker s and experts from health management agencies , research institutes and service providers have discussed solutions to strengthen Vietnam’s health system sustainability and resilience at a workshop.

The March 17 workshop was part of the Global Summit of the Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience. It was coorganised by AstraZeneca Vietnam and the Health Strategy and Policy Institute (HSPI).

HSPI researchers presented their newly published a report on the sustainability and resilience of the Vietnamese health system, with crucial policy recommendations to enhance benefits for Vietnamese people.

Dr. Tran Van Thuan, Vice Minister of Health, said via a video message: “Vietnam has worked tirelessly to enhance its health system, aiming towards equality, efficiency, quality and sustainability, and meeting the people’s healthcare needs.”

“However, the health system is facing many challenges with the double burden of diseases and an aging population,” Thuan added.

“It needs to be continuously improved to ensure its sustainable development and ability to respond to future difficulties and challenges.”

Nitin Kapoor, chairman and general director of AstraZeneca Vietnam, said: “We hope the Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR) will provide a platform to both highlight Vietnam’s best practice in COVID-19 response to the world, and allow the Vietnamese health system to look within and identify room for further enhancements.”

Dr. Tran Thi Mai Oanh, director of HSPI and PHSSR Vietnam lead researcher, said: “We are pleased to be among the first countries in the world to pioneer the London School of Economics’ new framework on health system sustainability and resilience.”

“It is our hope that our evidence-based report will provide a deeper and more comprehensive view of Vietnam’s health system according to the five domains: governance, financing, workforce, medicines and technology, and service delivery, and that our proposed solutions will inform upcoming high-level health policy discussions and agendas to create meaningful changes.”

Prof. Alistair McGuire, London School of Economics, joining virtually from the UK, emphasised the important role that Vietnam plays in the global PHSSR initiative, and hoped that the project could soon be expanded to other Asian countries.

During the summit session, Swedish Ambassador Ann Måwe and British Deputy Ambassador Marcus Winsley emphasised the vital role of cross-border cooperation during COVID-19 and beyond. Other speakers echoed and contributed to the HSPI’s recommendations to continue prioritising grassroots healthcare development and primary healthcare, and initiatives to achieve universal health coverage and increase public participation in health policy development and monitoring./.

Acting health minster points to lessons learnt in fighting against COVID-19

August 27, 2020 by en.nhandan.org.vn

>>> Vietnam reports no new COVID-19 cases on August 27 morning

Commenting on the COVID-19 fight in the past month, Long said that the situation in the Da Nang – Quang Nam epicentre was under control, as the number of reported cases decreased in recent weeks.

In the northern province of Hai Duong, the outbreak in its capital city of the same name has also been basically controlled, with all infection cases has been detected and put into isolated treatment, while other related contacts have also been identified and quarantined timely. The locales are speeding up traceability, localisation, isolation and testing to quickly stamp out the outbreak.

Other outbreaks in some other localities have been quickly zoned and isolated with necessary anti-epidemic measures taken.

Prof, Dr. Long said that in the near future, there will probably some new infections detected that could possibly spread in the community if timely prevention measures are not taken. He suggested localities to learn from some lessons that the Ministry of Health has summarised from the fight against the new outbreaks in Da Nang, Quang Nam and Hai Duong.

First of all, the prevention and control of COVID-19 in such localities has been put under the prompt and timely direction from the Government, the Prime Minister and the National Steering Committee on COVID-19 Prevention and Control, as well as all the relevant authorities and agencies.

Secondly, the risk areas with objects at risk of infection have been quickly identified, helping to save resources. For example, from the beginning of the second wave in Da Nang, the local health sector very quickly identified three local hospitals as the epidemic centres, while the whole city was placed under total outbreak control.

Acting Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long.

The third feature that brings initial success in controlling the new wave of COVID-19 is that the local authorities have been acting drastically and imposing suitable social restrictions for each region, like the smoothy and timely social distancing in Hai Duong, Acting Minister Long evaluated, praising Hai Duong in quickly zoning and imposing blockade to limit the spread of the coronavirus in the city.

Fourthly, the health sector has mobilised an unprecedented huge force of medical staff in the fight, including leading professors, doctors, experts and even medical students, helping Da Nang and Quang Nam to deal with the mass spread of the disease.

In the fifth lesson, the Ministry of Health, under the direction from the Prime Minister, immediately established a frontline command – a special standing division under the ministry stationed in Da Nang, as well as a front-line warehouse in the city. The body has coordinated with the local authorities in facilitating the epidemic prevention and control, helping Da Nang to be more confident in professional guidance, techniques, human resource coordination and equipment.

The acting minister also mentioned the important role of the on-site forces, focusing on the role of local governments and the effective operation of the community-based COVID-19 fight groups that have been established and deployed by local authorities to mobilise the public participation in pandemic prevention and control.

Along with that, Vietnam’s testing capacity has increased very quickly, while the tracking and isolation of close contacts to COVID-19 infections has been implemented in a timely manner. The issue is “absolutely important” as described by the acting minister, saying that right from the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in Vietnam, the health sector has decisively decided to isolate the close contacts while taking test samples from them to immediately remove pathogens from the community and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The health sector has mobilised a large volume of medical staff to support the fight against new coronavirus outbreaks.

Up until now, just in a short time, the testing capacity goes up very quickly that can meet the requirement in case of the epidemic occurs on a large scale, Long affirmed.

The eighth lesson drawn from the local epidemic fights during this period is ensuring COVID-19 prevention in line with economic development activities in other localities, with strengthened border control and immigration, as well as the citizen protection. The relevant authorities and localities under the direction from the Government, the Prime Minister, and the Steering Committee have effectively carried out this work, Long stated.

The last lesson to be given is the proactive logistics preparation, without being interrupted. All the medical equipment, consumables, face masks, and protective gear were well prepared compared to the first wave, said Long.

In general, the acting minister affirmed that localities have rapidly implemented methodical, timely and synchronous measures in dealing with the second COVID-19 infection wave. It is expected that it would take about a month to control the outbreak, Long said, urging for more drastic and quick actions to limit the consequences caused by COVID-19.
