Health:
Many of Vietnam’s hospitals are in antiquated colonial buildings. Equipment is basic, and medical staffs often lack necessary skills and experience. Patients have to pay for treatment and medication – poor people are exempted. However, a new employee medical national insurance scheme has been launched and is proving popular.

The proportion of live births and life expectancy are both rising, but Vietnam faces many health challenges. In particular, HIV/AIDS is increasing, fuelled by a growing drug abuse and unsafe sex. However, the country has scored some remarkable successes, notably being the first country in the world to eradicate an outbreak of SARS in the spring of 2003.
