On October 30, at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Thai Nguyen University, the Opening Ceremony of the first specialist training class for 22 young volunteer doctors took place to participate in the project "Piloting young volunteer doctors in difficult areas" for 7 provinces: Cao Bang, Lang Son, Bac Kan, Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Yen Bai and Bac Giang.

Training cooperation signing ceremony between leaders of Project 585, Thien Tam Fund and Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Tien Dung, Principal of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, the first class of level I specialist doctors training that opened this time is the 7th class trained in phase 2 with funding sponsored by Thien Tam Fund, but it is the first class that the Ministry of Health assigned to the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Thai Nguyen University to organize training in a special way: the training period is 24 consecutive months, each student has at least 1 instructor to guide and support throughout the training period, 100% of the training costs are supported... At the same time, the training program has been transferred by Hanoi Medical University with 6 majors: Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Diagnostic Imaging and Testing.

Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Minister Nguyen Thi Lien Huong emphasized: Human resource quality has been and is the top concern of the health sector, especially in the context of more and more facilities participating in the training process in the health sector in general and the pharmaceutical sector in particular. Training medical human resources is a fundamental solution to improve and enhance the quality of health care for the people.

The project "piloting young volunteer doctors in difficult areas" (Project 585) is one of the practical and effective training methods to provide human resources with high professional and technical qualifications to meet the health care needs of people in difficult localities.

Thereby creating opportunities for the majority of poor people, people in remote, border, island areas, and areas with difficult socio-economic conditions to access increasingly better quality medical services, limit unnecessary referrals for treatment, contribute to reducing overload at upper-level hospitals, and avoid waste for people and the community.

According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Thi Lien Huong, the health sector is entering a new phase of recovery after the pandemic. With the Secretariat issuing a Directive on strengthening grassroots health care, the National Assembly's Resolution on District Health Centers being assigned to the District People's Committee for management, and the Ministry of Health adjusting the acute respiratory infection caused by the new strain of Corona virus (COVID-19) from a group A infectious disease to a group B infectious disease.

For primary health care to be the foundation, human resources play a key role, so training quality is the goal set for teachers and students of the training courses of Project 585, so the Deputy Minister of Health requested Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy and hospitals providing practical training for students of class 585 to pay as much attention, support, and priority as possible to students, especially ethnic minority students.
