British experts emphasized: Strengthening the grassroots health network and developing family doctors are important pillars to build a sustainable health system.

The discussion focused on modern healthcare trends, especially primary healthcare in the digital age. Delegates were introduced to models of artificial intelligence (AI), automation and digital governance applications to reduce the burden on upper-level care, improve the efficiency of chronic disease management and increase proactiveness in early disease detection.

At the same time, the issues of patient safety, data security, risk management, and organizational cooperation skills and preventive care for metabolic diseases are also raised as urgent requirements in modern healthcare system management.

Experience from the UK health system

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Vincent Sai, General Director of Modality Partnership (UK), emphasized the importance of understanding local healthcare needs to design appropriate care models. He said: “We hope that the UK’s experiences will help Dong Nai healthcare build a more comprehensive healthcare system, encouraging innovation through modern healthcare policies and solutions.”

Ms. Juliette Waterhouse, General Director of Hong Anh Medical System, said: “We aim for a healthcare service model that has a positive and practical impact on the community. When people are tested and the disease is detected early, treatment will be much easier and more effective."

Modality Partnership is a primary and community health service provider within the UK National Health Service (NHS). Founded in 2009, the organization serves approximately 7 million people and has received numerous awards from the NHS. Modality is known for driving innovation in healthcare, focusing on data solutions, population health management, and patient-centered care models. The organization also expands international collaboration to spread innovative care models around the world.

At the conference, Director of the Department of Health of Dong Nai province Do Thi Nguyen hoped that the medical team would carry a clear message after the program: “Caring for community health does not start with big things but starts with very simple actions such as: a timely blood pressure measurement, a sincere nutrition consultation, a timely reminder of a follow-up appointment, a dedicated guide to measuring blood sugar. Those seemingly small things can prevent a stroke, save a heart, protect a family, and preserve a future. That is the silent - but extremely great - power of grassroots health care”.
