Fifty-five out of 114 reports that were submitted to the organising committee were presented at the conference.

The reports focused on emerging and re-emerging infectious epidemics, pediatric infectious diseases and HIV/AIDS.

Pham Manh Hung, chairman of the Viet Nam Medical Association, said that Viet Nam had successfully controlled the HIV/ AIDS epidemic in the community, with a fall in the number of new infected HIV cases, AIDS cases and deaths due to HIV/AIDS.

Viet Nam had the lowest number of HIV infection cases in Southeast Asia, Hung said.

Despite considerable achievements, the HIV/AIDS epidemic was still a great challenge for the country's healthcare sectors and it required enormous effort to prevent and control the epidemic.

The country had prevented and controlled emerging and re-emerging infectious epidemics, said Nguyen Van Kinh, chairman of the Viet Nam Society of Infectious Disease.

Prevention of the deadly Ebola virus from entering the country was currently a focus of the sector, Kinh said.

The conference was organised by the Viet Nam Society of Infectious Disease in coordination with the Viet Nam Clinical HIV/AIDS Association
