HCM City (VNA) – French Prime Minister
Edouard Philippe on November 4 attended a ceremony to inaugurate the French
medical centre in Ho Chi Minh City as part of his official visit to Vietnam
from November 2-4.

The event was part of the activities to mark 45th anniversary of bilateral
diplomatic ties and five years of strategic partnership between Vietnam and
France.

In his remarks, the French PM expressed his delight at the operation of the
medical centre, saying that besides giving medical examination and treatment,
the centre will help boost medical and pharmaceutical training for Vietnamese
doctors.

Collaboration between Vietnamese and French doctors at the centre will offer
opportunities for both sides to enhance experience sharing and human resources
training to better public health care, he added.

According to Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Kim Tien, the ministry and the
French Ministry of Solidarity and Health inked a cooperation programme in the
framework of the French PM’s visit, which covers training (with certificates),
support for infectious disease prevention, training in medical and financial
management, and human resources development.

The programme is a good opportunity for Vietnamese doctors and managers to
improve their expertise in the public health sector and effectively supervise
capital sources for the sector, she underlined.

Since 1993, generations of Vietnamese medical officials who received training
in France have become leading experts in the health care sector. Also, the
signing of various inter-government agreements in the field has formed a foundation
for exchange activities between the two countries, contributing to developing
Vietnam’s medical system, especially in cardiovascular, cancer, anesthesia,
neonatology, maternity and public health.-VNA
