Japanese Government helps VN in healthcare and education projects
By Nguyen Ngan 15:17, 2014/02/21
The Japanese Government has agreed to provide US$352,080 in non-refundable aid to help Vietnam implement three projects on education and health care.

Under a sponsoring contract signed in Hanoi on February 20, the aid will be channeled into Bac Kan, Ha Nam and Hanoi – all in the northern region of Vietnam.

A privately-run elderly care centre in Hanoi’s outlying district of Dong Anh will receive financial support to purchase medical equipment.

Additionally, medical workers at the clinic will be afforded the opportunity in the future to train in Japan as part of a Japan-Vietnam Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) programme.

The Japanese Government will also provide funding for the construction of Cap Trang primary school in Khang Ninh commune, Ba Be district, Bac Kan province and Duc Ly primary school in Ly Nhan district, Ha Nam province.

Addressing the signing ceremony, Japanese Envoy to Vietnam Hideo Suzuki stressed that Japan gives priority to Vietnam’s education sector.

The three Japanese-funded projects are expected to help Vietnamese localities improve education and healthcare services, he said.
