The PMU 4 phase projects aimed to expand capacity and improve access to specialized care for lifestyle diseases like cancer and cardiovascular conditions, in line with Vietnam’s national healthcare development plan. VAMED implemented the program across 19 public referral hospitals, enhancing diagnostic and treatment coverage, and supporting training for hospital response teams. The initiative also helped strengthen the expertise of specialists and medical researchers. Funded by the Austrian Government through a soft-loan, the project plays a key role in advancing Vietnam’s healthcare standards.
