The project “Applying Telehealth to Enhance Access to Healthcare Services for Vulnerable Groups in Vietnam,” funded by a grant from the Korea International Healthcare Foundation (KOFIH), was launched in November 2024 by the Ministry of Health in collaboration with UNDP. Lai Chau province is one of 10 provinces benefiting from the project. The project aims to improve the health of vulnerable groups in Vietnam by enhancing access to quality healthcare services for ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, those living in mountainous, remote, and climate-affected areas, while also promoting digital transformation in healthcare services and contributing to improving the quality of healthcare at the grassroots level.
