Call 111 to protect children.

QNgTV - In a short period of time, the country has continuously recorded many serious cases of child abuse, including cases of child death. Effective prevention requires inter-sectoral coordination, not just the health sector alone.

The Ministry of Health leaders particularly emphasized the need to develop a system for classifying children at risk of abuse, similar to the model adopted in many countries.

The Ministry of Health recommends strengthening communication about the national child protection hotline 111, ensuring that this number is widely disseminated to every residential area, industrial zone, and high-risk family, so that people can promptly report any suspected signs of child abuse or exploitation.

Despite operating for over 21 years and receiving more than 6 million calls, the percentage of people aware of and using the 111 hotline is still not commensurate with actual needs. Many parents, students, and even schools do not yet consider the 111 hotline as a proactive protection tool.
