US, Vietnam universities cooperate in improving first aid services
A delegation of American medical experts from the University of Utah has arrived in HCM City to help train 50 Vietnamese doctors in a first aid course.
This is part of a cooperative program between the University of Utad and HCM City Medicine and Pharmacy University.
Marta Ackers, Vice Director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in HCM City said the program aims to improve the capacity for Vietnamese doctors in providing first aid services and promote university cooperation between the two countries.
Dr Stephen Hartsell, Director of the Global Medical Training under the Emergency Medical Devision of the University of Utah said his staff want to provide technical support for Vietnam universities to improve the quality of first aid services in the country.
Their visit will open new opportunities for clinical research cooperation between the two universities, said Vo Tan Son, Director of HCM City Medicine and Pharmacy University.
Early this year, CDC technical experts in Vietnam and lecturers of HCM City Medicine and Pharmacy University visited Utah University and developed an educational curriculum on testing techniques for students.
