The Deputy PM stressed the important role of the programme in nursing the residents, officials and soldiers in strategic areas in terms of defence-security, especially remote, border, island and economically underdeveloped areas.
However, in the coming years, apart from maintaining the achievements, it is necessary to make adjustments to the programme being suitable with the new situation, Dam noted.
Particularly, Deputy PM Dam asked the MoH and MoD to closely work and make plans to further strengthen the grassroots health service in border areas and on islands.
Besides investing in facilities of the civil-military health centres, the Deputy PM said special attention should be paid to improving the quality of human resources, increasing the application of new technologies, and boosting diagnosis and treatment capability with modern equipment.
Deputy PM Dam also asked that the civil-military coordination should further participate in the search and rescue efforts as well as responses in emergencies.
