Enhancing student health and promoting non-communicable disease prevention in Vietnam

Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training, in collaboration with AstraZeneca Vietnam and Plan International Vietnam, has launched a new initiative to enhance the health and well-being of students across the country. The project aims to promote healthy lifestyles and bolster preventive measures against non-communicable diseases (NCDs) within the student population.

This partnership is a key component of the broader Vietnam Youth Health Project, which is scheduled to run from 2023 to 2026. The program seeks to create a supportive environment for young people to develop healthy habits and access resources that can help them avoid chronic illnesses later in life.

By focusing on health education and disease prevention, the initiative addresses a critical area of public health. The collaboration leverages the expertise and resources of government bodies and international organizations to make a significant impact on the health outcomes of Vietnam's youth.
