Extending her best wishes and profound gratitude to doctors, officials and staff of the health sector nationwide, Xuan affirmed that the Party and State always pay attention to and invest in the sector, especially in institutional building with the recent promulgation of the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment.
To achieve the goal of turning Vietnam into a developed country by 2045, the Acting President stressed the importance of the quality of human resources, including those of the health sector.

It is also necessary to research and apply new scientific and technological advances, and build a contingent of highly skilled medical staff to improve the quality of healthcare services, she added.
