Through the “First Step to Health” program 🩺, we equipped 40 general practitioner facilities in disadvantaged areas and this has led to a significant increase in the number of pregnant women and children up to the age of five consulting a doctor. The remarkable results include: ✅ 19% increase in the number of pregnant women attending prenatal healthcare services; ✅ 21% increase in the number of consultations, almost four times the national average; ✅ 20% increase in the number of children under five who were consulted by doctor in the last year.

Welcome the next half of 2024! :) I am pleased to share my latest article published with Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare last June. With strong interest in women's health, especially the more vulnerable ones living in hard-to-access areas, we explored prominent issues faced by health workers in delivering maternal care, and their impact on the local population’s daily lives and overall development. This work, once again, emphasised the crucial need to pay more attention and spend more resources improving maternal health services in privileged areas. • In Vietnam, there is a limitation in the use of maternal health services during the antenatal, childbirth, and the postnatal period. • The insufficient competence in human resources and equipment, inactivity of the health system, and remained unscientific beliefs prevented health workers in the mountainous area from effectively delivering maternal healthcare services. • These insights call for future community programs with strict policies, certain rights, and clear responsibilities of healthcare workers to be implemented. #womenhealth #mountainousarea #Vietnam #maternalhealth #unscientificbeliefs

It's Maternal Health Awareness Day, and we must acknowledge that not all regions have equal access to maternal care. In fact, some areas are considered "maternity care deserts." To combat this, we need adequate funding, effective staff training, and policy reforms. Let's come together to make sure that every mother has access to the care she deserves. #maternitycare #publichealth #policyreform #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay

Empowering women through informed reproductive choices! Exercising reproductive agency requires full, free, and informed choice. Therefore, training healthcare providers to offer comprehensive information and respect for women's consent is crucial. Women must have the autonomy to make their own health decisions, potentially in consultation with family, but ultimately based on their consent. We are committed to educating the community about options like cesarean sections and addressing common knowledge gaps concerning costs, impacts on fertility, and the overall process to empower women to make informed decisions about their health.
