At the meeting, PM Phuc said the establishment of the Association is significant to the education on community health. He spoke highly of the association’s practical and effective activities that have substantially helped with the care for people’s health. The Government leader asked the Association to pay more attention to the elderly, children and ethnic minority people and make use of traditional medicine in community health care, attract more private funding for activities, and utilize its widespread network across the country. He said the Association needs to better join hands with the healthcare sector in communications to raise public awareness of serious diseases.
