Overview

Although many significant achievements have been made, Viet Nam’s health care system still faces many health and health care challenges. Especially, the country has been undergoing a rapid epidemiological transition, characterised by a double burden of non-communicable diseases. While Vietnam now faces both new and traditional health issues, capacities of health care system for delivering health services to the population have not been adequate.  In order to plan and implement appropriate interventions to improve quality, efficiency and equity aspects of health services in Vietnam, the policy makers, managers, health staffs and other health system stakeholders in Vietnam urgently need to have update and in-depth scientific evidence on health service-related issues.  

The main aim of this publication project is to:

• To provide scientific evidence on health service-related issues for health planning, management and policy making process toward better health in Vietnam.

• To share research findings on various issues in health services from Vietnam with the rest of the world.
