Vietnam ageing health initiative

Entities: National Target Program on Health, Population and Development 2026‑2035 · Vietnam Ministry of Health

Overview

In early July 2026, Vietnam announced the launch of senior health checks, a DNA screening campaign and associated cultural festivals aimed at older adults.

Later in the month, the Ministry of Health released a detailed proposal under the National Target Program on Health, Population and Development (2026‑2035). The draft outlines educational materials for people aged 40 and above covering healthy lifestyles, home‑care, financial planning and suitable employment. It also calls for training health‑care and demographic staff, integrating guidance into community senior‑care clubs and cultural activities, and running regular media campaigns to disseminate the information. Together, the initiatives aim to equip Vietnam’s rapidly ageing population with the knowledge, services and community support needed for healthier later life.
