Takeda Vietnam is demonstrating its commitment to protecting the planet through the planting of more than 500 trees in Can Gio Biosphere Reserve, located about 50km from Ho Chi Minh City.

Over the past few years, Vietnam has placed more focus on rare diseases and enhanced rare disease capabilities in diagnosis, treatment, and management guidelines for some rare diseases. To advance this progress, the Vietnamese Ministry of Health has explored collaborating in public-private partnerships with various stakeholders such as pharmaceutical companies. Katharina Geppert, country manager of Takeda Vietnam, talked with VIR about their contributions to rare diseases in Vietnam.

Takeda and stakeholders have announced the launch of a programme for establishing diagnostic methods, strengthening treatment and developing guidelines for hereditary angioedema (HAE) in Vietnam.

The Japanese Embassy in Vietnam will organize calligraphy demonstration and workshop entitled “The Power of Calligraphy” from Takeda Souun at Temple of Literature in Hanoi at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
