Vietnam provinces implement health care reforms under Resolution 72

Various Vietnamese provinces are accelerating the implementation of Resolution 72-NQ/TW, a Politburo directive aimed at enhancing public health protection and care. The resolution emphasizes a shift from reactive medical treatment to proactive disease prevention and comprehensive lifecycle health management.

In Cao Bang, health authorities are mobilizing mobile medical teams to conduct periodic health screenings, particularly targeting residents in remote and disadvantaged areas. Several communes have already completed universal health screenings as part of an effort to finish the province-wide initiative by November 30.

In Quang Ninh, the province has achieved a 95.12% screening rate for over 1.2 million people. The region is also advancing digital transformation, with nearly 99% of the population having electronic health records and most public medical facilities implementing electronic medical records.

Lam Dong is focusing on strengthening preventive medicine and developing high-quality human resources for the 2026-2030 period. Key priorities include improving disease surveillance, expanding vaccination programs, and investing in specialized medical fields such as cardiology, oncology, and geriatrics. The province also aims to enhance digital connectivity between medical records, health insurance, and student health data.
