Vietnam Hanoi Needs to Soon Have Health Development Strategy in 2025-2030
Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi needs to soon have a health development strategy in 2025-2030, Dr. Tran Thi Nhi Ha, director of the Hanoi Health Department, proposed during a working session with the Oversight Delegation 3 of the Hanoi Party Committee.
Dr. Ha suggested that the city should progress with the implementation of public investment projects in the healthcare sector and develop a dedicated plan for school health to support the intellectual and psychological development of students. She emphasized the need to promote the use of information technology for higher-level hospitals to provide online support to lower-level hospitals in diagnosis and treatment.
Ms. Ha emphasized Hanoi's continued efforts to strengthen the grassroots healthcare system to meet the medical examination and treatment needs of the people, increase health insurance coverage, and promptly issue technical standards in the healthcare sector.
The Hanoi Health Department has so far exceeded seven out of nine assigned targets in the plan in 2021-2025.
In terms of hospital beds per 10,000 people, the total number of hospital beds in the city is approximately 30,972, reaching 36.44 beds per 10,000 people, exceeding the assigned target with the current population estimated at around 8.5 million.
