On July 19, Vietnamese Ministry of Public Health and the Australian Embassy in Vietnam jointly organised a workshop in Hanoi, drawing many international medical experts and representatives from Australia’s leading healthcare technology firms.


The workshop aims to introduce Australia’s strengths in scientific research, technology and healthcare service development, offer a good chance for the two sides to enhance links in the field, discuss the probability to promote links between the two countries in medical technology transfer and healthcare service development.

In his opening remark, Deputy Health Minister Le Quang Cuong highlighted Australia’s medical strengths, saying that the country has developed a national health system with modern technologies, advanced techniques and high professional skills. Australia also has close partnerships with many counties worldwide in health, medical research and the provision of technical and financial assistance to developing countries, including Vietnam, he noted.


Participants to the two-day event will focus on sharing information related to research activities and policy-making for non-communicable diseases, how to improve the quality of healthcare services and hospitals through improving technology, and pharmaceuticals training in Vietnam.

The workshop has laid a foundation for future cooperation between Vietnam and Australia in medical technology transfer and joint research, training, and technical support for healthcare system management.

The Vietnamese side established a Vietnam-Australia subcommittee on cooperation in science and technology with the participation of the Ministries of Health, Natural Resources and Environment, Agriculture and Rural Development.
