Recently, the Politburo , the Party and the Government have issued many important policies to support medical, educational and training facilities, in which the University of Medicine is the beneficiary of many policies at the same time. The Deputy Prime Minister suggested that if the school focuses on applying science and technology, innovation to research, produce drugs, vaccines, and develop OCOP products of the Pharmaceutical and Traditional Medicine sectors, it can benefit from "the whole sky of policies". However, the University of Medicine needs to clearly define its location, operational goals and proactively propose to the right "address".
