| Vaccination for pupils in Vietnam |
In the past 60 years, the preventive medicine has
developed comprehensively and achieved great achievements such as eradicating
smallpox and polio, cutting infectious diseases by thousands or hundreds times,
providing vaccination for over 90 percent of children aged under 12 months and
increasing the rate of people accessing clean water and sanitation.
In the determination and
tireless attempts of generations, many diseases have been eliminated and controlled.
Vietnam
has eradicated smallpox since 1978, polio in 2000, neonatal tetanus in 2005;
many dangerous diseases have been controlled and pushed back as cholera,
plague, malaria.... Vietnam
has also successfully controlled many emerging diseases; especially, the World
Health Organization has recognized Vietnam as the world's first
country that successfully controlled the SARS epidemic after 45-day horrifying
prevention.
Vietnam has met the basic
requirements of implementing the International Health Charter and been
recognized by the World Health Organization as the country that is capable of surveillance,
prevention, early warning and timely response to emerging diseases and other
public health events."
In the vaccine production
sector, Vietnam has also produced
10/12 kinds of vaccines; the vaccine management of Vietnam has been met the
international standards NRA of the World Health Organization. The food safety
in Vietnam
has been better ensured than before. Vietnam has been recognized as one of 10
leading countries in the implementation process of the UN Millennium Development Goals in healthcare, especially
in reducing the maternal and infant mortality, reducing malnutrition, malaria
incidence and HIV/AIDS prevention.
In the coming time, the
preventive medicine will face with a lot of challenges, especially many
dangerous, emerging and unidentified diseases which constantly appear on the
world and can attack our country anytime, the control of communicable and non-communicable diseases is also very difficulty
due to travel exchanges, urbanization, environmental pollution, climate change,
variants of pathogenic microorganisms... However the Vietnam preventive medicine with
its experience and capacity will firmly protect the country and the people from
such diseases./.
