Public health initiatives in Vietnam have focused on maternal nutrition, reproductive health, and substance abuse prevention.

Efforts regarding maternal and child health include collaborations between the Ministry of Health and private entities to provide nutritional tools, such as software featuring over 2,000 dishes, to support pregnant women and young children. Additionally, health officials have promoted proactive contraceptive choices to improve population quality, advising citizens to rely on scientific evidence.

Concurrently, regional organizations have intensified awareness campaigns targeting youth and women regarding the risks of tobacco, e-cigarettes, and narcotics. These programs include school-based sessions to debunk myths about e-cigarette safety and community-level training to help young people identify new drugs disguised as food or beverages.
