The current working headquarters of the Population Department under the Department of Health of Kien Giang province.
The People's Committee of Kien Giang province has issued Decision No. 2936/QD-UBND dated November 6, 2024 on renaming the Department of Population - Family Planning under the Department of Health to the Department of Population under the Department of Health of Kien Giang province. This renaming is part of the roadmap for adjusting and perfecting the organizational structure, in order to meet the requirements of comprehensive management of population work in the new period.
The renaming of the Department of Population and Family Planning to the Department of Population reflects the change in strategic focus of population work. Not only focusing on family planning, the Department of Population also undertakes other important tasks such as managing the size, structure, and quality of the population, as well as providing health care for the elderly in the community.
The Population Sub-Department continues to be an administrative agency under the Department of Health of Kien Giang province, with the function of advising, managing the state and implementing professional activities on population in the province. At the same time, this unit is under the professional direction of the Department of Population under the Ministry of Health .
The Population Department will perform the following key tasks:
Population planning and management: Monitor population fluctuations, propose solutions to adjust birth rates, ensure gender balance at birth, and develop population forecasts to serve socio-economic development.
Improve population quality: Organize prenatal and newborn screening programs, premarital health counseling, prevent early marriage and consanguineous marriage.
Elderly health care: Promote regular health check-ups, nutrition counseling and rehabilitation in the community.
Communication and socialization: Strengthen population policy propaganda, coordinate the provision of consultation and health care services at the grassroots level.
The Population Department is organized with a leadership consisting of a Department Head and no more than two Deputy Department Heads. The civil servants are arranged according to approved job positions, ensuring good performance of assigned tasks.
This Decision takes effect from the date of signing.
