This awards ceremony was part of the Global Science and Economic Forum 2024 organised by the Global Trade and Technology Council of India (GTTCI India) in collaboration with international agencies and organisations.

GTTCI India coordinated with organisations in Vietnam and internationally to nominate more than 300 outstanding scientists, socio-political activists, and businessmen for universities to confer titles of academicians, professors and honourary doctors, including the IAU.

Starting in transportation, Hop Luc has developed into a large enterprise over the past 30 years, with multi-industry businesses including healthcare, transportation, education, cremation, restaurants, and high-tech agriculture, with more than 20 member units nationwide.

Hospitals benefiting from double revision

While the shortfall of medical devices at hospitals has eased since new rules were introduced in March, more improvements are required to further facilitate the healthcare sector.

Modern policy for private hospitals

Since the early years of the 20th century, Vietnam has had the policy to attract private investment and resources from the society to develop private healthcare. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van De, chairman of the Vietnam Private Hospital Association, explains how the past can be linked up to the future in this regard.

Road for health funding must be clear

Vietnam’s law on public-private partnerships, despite opening up numerous opportunities for the deployment of various projects, still consists of several obstacles that prevent investors from pouring capital into healthcare in this country.
