The Ministry of Health must focus all the equipments and resources to control the measles outbreak and limit mortality especially in children .
We should not bring children to central hospitals to avoid cross- infection, the lower hospitals must support treating in order to reduce overload on the central children's hospital.
Everybody must raise awareness of disease prevention and personal hygiene, we should not go to crowded places to avoid spreading the disease.
All ministries and agencies must work together to quell the current measles epidemic, reducing the risk of disease spreading.
Ministry of Health urgently provide new treatment regimens for patients infected with measles, please do not let mortality happen again.
Epidemic problem has become non-traditional security problem threats to the stability and development of our country . Parallel to strengthening security in the country, we have to solve this social problem.
Ministry of Health must make effort to measure the effectiveness of the new control, eventually eradicate measles by 2017 .
Wishing our children healthy.
Everybody should take the initiative to vaccinate children, the rate of vaccination risks are much lower than they have been infected.
It must be announced that epidemic of measles happenned in Vietnam for World Health Organization support.
