Mission Statement
The mission of Pathfinder International Viet Nam is to improve sexual and reproductive health through capacity building and policy-focused initiatives that respond to the needs of the society.
History of operations in Vietnam
Pathfinder International is an American nonprofit organization devoted to improving the quality of life for women and families in developing countries since 1957 by supporting quality reproductive health care and family planning. With more than 50 years of experience, today Pathfinder programs are implemented in 27 countries worldwide. In Viet Nam, Pathfinder began its programming activities in Vietnam in 1994. Its mission is to support the government, private sector and civil society to strengthen health systems, enable providers, and empower people and communities for improved quality of sexual and reproductive health care that meet the needs of underserved and disadvantaged populations. Pathfinder promotes pre-service and in-service training in reproductive health care and HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. It has strengthened the role of professional medical associations in training and supporting the private sector and assists the Ministry of Health to standardize policies on the quality of health care services through professional license accreditation and continuous medical education. Pathfinder has pioneered in the introduction of a wide range of health care systems in Viet Nam, particularly in reproductive health.
