Sweden and Vietnam Celebrate 50 Years of Health Cooperation
Published
Sweden and Vietnam are holding a health week in 2026 to celebrate 50 years of cooperation in the field of health. The collaboration has existed since the early 1970s and has meant a great deal to many people in Vietnam. Several hospitals built with Swedish assistance are today an important part of life for several generations of Vietnamese.
During the health week, both the historical work and new projects in healthcare will be presented. These include, among other things, training of healthcare personnel, research, and the development of health services. The aim is to show how the two countries can continue to exchange knowledge and experience in medicine and public health.
For Sweden, the cooperation is an example of long-term development assistance and international exchange. By sharing knowledge about healthcare and health, both countries hope to improve care for people in Vietnam and in Sweden. The health week shows that cooperation across great distances can produce results for many years.
