French professors and practising physicians honoured in Vietnam
Vietnam Embassy in France held a solemn ceremony "For People`s Health" to award medals for 3 French professors and doctors who have made great contributions to the development of Vietnam`s health.
Speaking at the awards ceremony in Paris, Ambassador to France Duong Chi Dung spoke admirably of the overall assistance that French professors, doctors and experts have accorded Vietnam over the past decade.
He said Jacques Lansac, former president of the National College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians of France; Jean-Midel Krivine, former head of the Surgery Department of Emile Roux Hospital in Paris, and Alain Desaulty, former coordinator of the French Otorhinolaryngology Training Program stand out for their exceptionalism.
Dung said that since the first inter-governmental cooperation agreement was signed in 1993, healthcare cooperation between France and Vietnam has become a pillar in bilateral cooperation.
France has provided first-rate training for more than 2,000 Vietnamese doctors at training facilities in France, who have gone on to become the nation’s leading experts in their chosen fields.
Additionally, France has helped upgrade medical facilities, build hospital infrastructure, and transfer technology, contributing to an overall renovation of the healthcare system in Vietnam.
Jacques Lansac noted many competent doctors and managers have benefitted from French-medical projects over the past 20 years.
It is the reason why France wants to further cooperate with Vietnam in training Vietnamese doctors, he said.
