Phong (VNA) – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc requested
diversifying all possible resources to develop the Vietnam National Institute
of Maritime Medicine (VINIMAM) – the first of its kind in Vietnam and the
Southeast Asia, during a working session with its staff in the northern port
city of Hai Phong on November 25.
The
institute is tasked with conducting scientific research, joining disaster
response at sea, offering training in maritime medicine, and providing first
aid and health care to workers and people at sea.
It
currently provides health check-ups and treatment to 100,000 people at sea each
year.
The
PM expressed his hope that the VINIMAM staff would further improve their
professional and governance skills to deserve reputation as the country’s
leading maritime medicine centre.
He
also suggested adopting technological advances and pitching for investment from
international organisations.
The
Health Ministry, Vietnam Social Insurance and VINIMAM were asked to launch the
model of medicine cabinets on vessels to better serve fishermen.
In
the afternoon the same day, the Government leader issued an order to begin the
construction of a five-star hotel and apartment complex worth 200 million USD
in Hai Phong.
It
is part of a riverside urban project which covers a site of 5ha in Le Chan
district and is invested by Chuo Vietnam company./.
