To date, nearly 1,100 fetal heart monitors worth 130,000 USD have been provided by the UNFPA to help protect the lives of Vietnamese pregnant women.
Nguyen Duc Vinh, Director of the Maternal and Child Health Department of the Health Ministry, said protecting the health of all people, especially pregnant women, is a top priority of the Vietnamese Government, particularly amidst natural disasters.
Vinh said the UNFPA’s support will help the grassroots medical system minimize negative impacts of natural disasters.
