According to statistics, Vietnam currently has about 13 million women in pre-menopause and menopause, increasing by about 200,000 people each year. About 20% of these women have disorders that require medical intervention, showing that this is a very large group. However, many women still silently endure this stage due to lack of basic information about symptoms and treatment methods, negatively affecting their health and quality of life.

The establishment of the Vietnam Menopausal Women's Health Care Association is therefore of special importance — contributing to raising community awareness, promoting research, training and communication, aiming at comprehensive care, improving quality of life and promoting the role of women in modern society.
