Health Nguyen Thi Kim Tien and Korean Minister of Health and Welfare Park
Neung-hoo held talks and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on
in Seoul on March 14.
Tien said Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK)
have seen cooperation between their and medical schools for many
years.
Vietnam wants to partner with the RoK in
training for medical profession certification, building a financial mechanism
for the health sector, including health insurance, and improving public health,
she added.
The signing of the new MoU is essential for the
two sides to discuss specific and most feasible cooperation in the field, she
noted.
Park said the acceptance of each other’s medical
profession certification should be considered despite differences in their training
curricula.
He said the RoK is willing to share information
with Vietnam on health insurance and public health improvement. The two sides
could also collaborate in producing medicine, the Korean minister suggested.
