Progress in reducing mortality rates of mothers and children

Vietnam has made remarkable progress in reducing the fatality rates of mothers and children under five, said Deputy Health Minister, Nguyen Viet Tien.

In his statement at the 14th Vietnam-France-Asia-Pacific Conference on Obstetrics and Gynecology  in HCM City on May 21, Tien attributed these achievements to the effective cooperation in sharing experiences and training nurses, doctors at home and abroad.

More than 1,000 scientific reports were presented by both Vietnamese and foreign experts during the conference, with a focus on such fields as laparoscopic surgery, prenatal diagnosis, newborn screening, and cosmetic surgery. Thelatest medical documents and valuable clinical experiences have been applied effectively in advanced nations.
