VOV.VN - Vietnam will step up training of local medical staff, following positive results of a project funded by the World Bank and the European Union in the past two years as the country seeks to provide better primary health care to the entire population, officials said on March 6.

VOV.VN - Vietnam has gone a long way since it entered the Alma-Ata Declaration, joining the world community in committing itself to ensuring public health by providing primary health care (PHC) to the entire nation.

VOV.VN - The photo contest under the theme "Primary Health Care for Vietnamese People", an initiative put ahead by the World Bank in Vietnam, supported by the EU and hosted by the country's national radio channel Voice of Vietnam, is a unique event to mark Vietnam's 40th anniversary of its participation in the 1978 Alma-Ata Declaration on PHC.
